This is seperate from the training needed to be Administator (which a licensee has to do as well)

The case that's being made is that nobody other than a real estate licensee should be allowed to make a valuation of a home.

I got pulled in front of one a couple of years ago and the judge made it plain that if I continued "brokering without a license" (I called it 'wholesaling' but he didn't care) he was going to bring me in front of the real estate commission (who I thought could only regulate licensees).

The homeowner opted "out" of everything and in my state if your negotiator isn't an agent, broker, lawyer or licensee of some sort, you HAVE to provide a cancelation contract to the homeowner.

Call me first before a licensee.

The Agency’s investigations are complaint driven, so we rely heavily on the public, and our licensees to bring these individuals to our attention.

However, no transaction negotiated through a real estate licensee shall be considered in determining whether a person is a real estate broker within the meaning of this section.Accordingly, it appears that even if you act as a principal (meaning you are acting on your own behalf and not for another person), then you are limited to 8 transactions per year, otherwise you are acting as a broker.This response neither constitutes legal or tax advice nor establishes an attorney-client relationship.

I can't get more enthusiastic about this advice for the non licensees here.

This is the MAIN reason licensees who flip would work the deal this way over the other.

I, as a lowly non-licensee, would have had the inkling to at least try that.
