Hello,
I am starting a FSBO marketing resources website offering MLS listings among other tools. I would like to expand nationally and leverage my time by hiring employees / agents. With consideration to licensing laws (and the gray area involved), I have a few ideas. Which would you suggest I pursue? Any ideas are appreciated.
- unlicensed sales reps contact leads with strict limitations due to licensing laws, with goal to refer lead to website to close sale, listing referred/hosted by broker partners in each state (advantage: easier to hire and expand, but lower conversion)
- licensed agents pitch leads, give better details, close listing sales on phone (better conversion rate, more difficult to hire, many more valuable and costly employees with state limitations)
- I get as many reciprocal licenses as possible and do all the calling (still a possibility but doesn't quite fulfill the potential and my overall lifestyle goals)
Can anyone (and yes, eventually a lawyer) clear up some uncertainty? Thanks!
