To make a long story short to answer your indirect questions is yes of course I provided all those details as I'm a realtor and investor, so I'm not no newbie.

The law, which went into effect in 2020, not years ago, seems to be pretty clear:"Broker" means an individual, entity, corporation, foreign or domestic partnership, limited liability company, registered limited liability partnership, or other business entity other than a residential leasing agent who, whether in person or through any media or technology, for another and for compensation, or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation, either directly or indirectly: (1) Sells, exchanges, purchases, rents, or leases  real estate
