RESPA Rules on AgentsSection 9 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act prohibits sellers from conditioning the home sale on the use of a specific title insurance company, and in fact violators can be subject to penalties, with the most ­typical being a fine of up to three times the amount of the title insurance fee.Section 1024.2 of RESPA says a “required use” exists when a person must use a particular provider of settlement services to have access to a distinct service or property, if the person will pay for (or pay a charge attributable in whole or in part to) the settlement service.It’s not considered a “required use” if the seller offers to pay the buyer’s title charges.

No matter how much you sugar coat your reasoning for selling in high volume without a license; before a Wisconsin court of law, or any other states adopting similar statues, codes, articles, chapters, etc. its distinctly evident that you, or your LLC if you operate through one, display a pattern of sales that coincides with what the law expresses as being illegal without a license.

If you guarantee a company debt you can ask that they report it, they will anyway, but the distinction is who makes the payment as to payment history.
