Real Estate License Reciprocity

[Justin Miles]

So i live in Florida and will be selling my house here and moving to Georgia where i will be getting my real estate license and flipping houses. My question is since i have a year before selling here. Should I just get my FL license  so i can sell broker my own deal here and does the FL license reciprocate easily with the GA one? Is it not worth the extra hoops to jump trough of just waiting to obtain a GA license since that is where i will be operating out of.

I would absolutely get your license. Representing buyers and sellers and all the other stuff isn't the only reason to have a license. If you're wanting to flip homes it'd be a huge benefit - I don't understand the logic of saying it wouldn't. You're able to research homes on the MLS in greater detail and you can represent yourself as buyer and seller. Those benefits alone can add up to more cost savings than most "real" real estate agents make in a year. I got my license simply so I don't have to rely on an agent for my RE investing. One deal every couple years alone covers the cost of my dues.
