I am a licensee so I would receive commission acting as my own agent which would potentially reduce the price 1.5%.

If you are going to take a more leisurely attitude, I would join an office that has other benefits for you, like leads and assistance.I lived in Utah several different times but was never a real estate licensee in that state.

Here in Maryland, if your a licensee, you legally need to disclose to all your potential sellers that you are in fact a licensee and I feel like that could be a hinderance to making deals.  

Hello BP Community,I am a licensee who just recently passed their California Real Estate Salesperson Exam.

Perhaps you can find a new licensee who has access that will partner with you creating a win/win for both.

(You're always able to do things on your own properties as an owner-licensee.)

Jamie, you can teach people whatever you like, the issue is the relationship between you and your sales force, are you a licensee?

As long as the person you are birddogging for is not a real estate licensee, it shouldn't be a problem.Under Texas real estate law, licensees are not allowed to pay consideration for referrals, defined as anything of value, to someone who is not a real estate licensee.

I've been a Real Estate licensee since 2000 and became a Real Estate broker in 2004.Though this is my first post, I have been a long time follower of the site and would like to thank all of you for the great advice.  

A salesperson license requires the licensee to place their license under a broker.
