Certainly millions of subject to transactions take place and involve real estate agents, attorneys as well as unlicensed public.

Ask them about enforcement actions concerning unlicensed agents.

If you want to broker real estate without a license here are the laws:FL statute 475.42 and 475.43He is an attorney that maybe can help you:https://www.richardhornsby.com/crimes/regulatory/unlicensed-practice-of-real-estate.html

As these unlicensed brokers create more victims expect the laws to get tougher. 

Your local state real estate commission cares nothing about the NAR and just if you have committed a license law violation or not.NAR is subscribing to a code of ethics and that is all and paying to belong at the county,state,and national level.Another item to consider is if you are an investor only you are given more leeway on what you get away with in contracts.If you are trained in contracts and licensed there are some tactics you cannot do like an unlicensed investor could.On the residential side I could see you getting licensed to access properties,etc.On the commercial real estate side you are paying for expertise and contacts not access.

Any licensed agent has an obligation to report unlicensed activity or that licensed agent could suffer penalties and possible revoke of license.  

I googled his name, and up came a news release about him going to prison for unlicensed contracting and theft (stealing large upfront deposits, and never doing any work).

Same as if you have unlicensed trades doing work.. they spot check all the time and stop projects when they go to check licenses.  

I know someone that had his unlicensed helper go do that roof, and they fell off the building and broke their back.  

Then when I told him the jig was up and I caught him in a big lie he threatened to sue me for slander of all things then got in his truck and drove off never to be seen again.I could go on and on having spent 30+ years as a General & Manufactured Home Contractor, Manufactured Home Dealer, developer, investor, property manage but most importantly an EXPERT WITNESS for construction defect, mis representation and fraud by licensed contractors and unlicensed operators purporting to be properly and legally qualified.
