Broker-Only State Realtor License Questions

[Daniel Shuler]

Hello BP family!

I was looking into getting my realtor's license in NC and found that it is a broker-only state. I was primarily just wanting the license to get MLS access, but upon what I've read, I don't know if it's as simple as that. It seems you have to have a broker to hang your license. I don't plan on being a real estate agent, showing houses and such and working for a company.

I suppose my questions are:
1)Are there brokers that will let you hang your license just so you can have MLS access?

2)What would the fees potentially be for this?

3)Knowing this, is it worth even pursuing the license? Perhaps other advantages to getting it other than MLS access?

4)Am I overlooking something? lol

Any input or advice is appreciated everyone.

Thanks!
Daniel
