Every state has its own licensing agency, however, I've heard that once you have a CA license there are reciprocity agreements with several other states wherein you can with reduced procedures get a license in that state.Licensing and MLS access are two distinct issues, for the most part.  

To reduce a price or set a price with a net amount to a seller, you need to divide the amount needed by the reciprocal of the commission rate, for example, a 6% fee you would divide by .94 to get the sale price, you can't really deduct the commission as a dollar amount.An agent always has a broker, I really doubt any broker would allow a listing without any commission, many do for an agent's own property, like one personal deal a year, but as I mentioned, brokers have expenses too.

I believe in reciprocity so whatever I can do to help in return, I WILL!

Hi @Mario Almeida,Oh he knows that we are unhappy and I'm sure he reciprocates.

I am in with Wells Fargo, Countrywide, Wachovia and Ocwen and give people hints on getting in with these banks if they will reciprocate the favor.Sheri in the Inland Empire, CAlifornia

When one considers that since the last G20 meeting in November, five of the twenty nations present have already announced intentions to raise import tariffs and restrict trade, then would it be any wonder if the unions pointed to these actions and demanded reciprocity?

You are correct, the IRS considers this "reciprocal lending" and is a linked transaction to a prohibited transaction.

The other part is I'm here to learn, take action, succeed/fail, report back, take constructive criticism and reciprocate in any way I can.

Part of why I still haven't decided whether to hang my license or not . . .In Maryland where I am, you have reciprocity with Oklahoma and Pennsylvania as a licensed agent.  

Although, I haven't purchased an apartment yet, it's a tool for future use....Reciprocity(like BP) does work....keep trying!!
