How to gain access to the MLS as an agent assistant

[Eric Davenport]

Hello Everyone,

I have a friend who is a licensed real estate agent in KY but has moved on to another career and is no longer active but still licensed. I know there are potentially fees and repercussions of handing out your username and password, and I would want to avoid getting her in trouble. I have heard that you can become an assistant and gain MLS access for $200 and taking a class.

Is this true? And if so, is it potentially dangerous to her license or liable to any fees?

Thank you all!
