My ambition & work ethic is here, I'm just looking for some guidance.

But of course if this poses any sort of legal or ethical violation, I don't want to go there!

@Brandon Stewart going around a Realtor is probably not the most ethical thing to be doing.

Then you have MLS access and have more strict ethics rules to follow.

Not sure the ethics or legalities on this.Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If you are doing business ethically being a broker should not be a problem.

I know it's not going to be easy, but I have faith in myself , my work ethic , and my determination to succeed.

Once you touch the MLS, you are under a different set of ethical rules and assignment fees don't work, but your buyers list has just went global.  ...but then again, why did you get your license in the first place?  

I gained my degree through the University of Northern Iowa where, upon graduation you only have to take the ethics part of the agents requirements and the final test to become a registered real estate salesperson agent.
