Exclusive Tools are valuable  - There is a multitude of tools accessible to licensees that are proprietary to real estate agents. 

While it does not appear the AZ DOI publishes complaints nor notices of such complaints being closed, the AZ DOI does appear to publish Administrative Orders issued against licensees for violations of Arizona insurance laws and regulations.

Are you a licensee?

Oftentimes the project foremen are able to book their own jobs at a reduced rate than calling the plumbing licensee directly.

@Jay Hinrichs what advice would you give to someone just starting out he’s getting ready for the real estate licensee exam?

I agree that the state is very strict on what we can do as RE Licensees, but my understanding is that you can assign contracts as you are technically licensed to do so.

Hey @Christopher Dunson....Being both an investor and (at one time) a licensee; I have observed that often the brokerages with the best training are the most traditional in their context of real estate (i.e.....cant think outside of the box like an investors sometimes needs to).I also know that one of the best investor/brokers I know doesn't have any real training program but can show you some next level thinking & practices concerning investing.If you would like to take a few minutes on the phone to discuss further; text me at my number below and let's talk.DISCLOSURE:  I was once licenced in NV but chose to not renew after 4 years.

In our state, licensees can only be paid for real estate activities through their broker. 

., working as "partners" with XYZ Company... that sounds like a smooth talker to me... commonplace, yes, but if he isn't the licensee, or an employee of the licensee, then beware.
