(Imagine the seller suing you for contract fraud and specific performance.)If you leave behind a trail of purchase agreements you didn’t close on if you couldn’t assign it, then you’re probably acting as an agent.Now for the licensees:Being a licensee allows you to advertise a property you don’t own when you have the owner's written permission.

When a licensee buys and sells real estate as a principal, regulations require the licensee to disclose to the opposite party that he or she has a real estate license.

I’m about to get my real estate licensee and I wanted to charge people on a retainer.

There is no RCW 42.56.070(9), but it seems to mean 42.56.070(8), which reads:"This chapter shall not be construed as giving authority to any agency, the office of the secretary of the senate, or the office of the chief clerk of the house of representatives to give, sell or provide access to lists of individuals requested for commercial purposes, and agencies, the office of the secretary of the senate, and the office of the chief clerk of the house of representatives shall not do so unless specifically authorized or directed by law" (it goes on to make exceptions for professional licensees).It seems to me this law would apply just as much to going to the county clerk's office and asking for the same information there, which is widely recommended.

Amazing.If you are a licensee and forget that your primary role is to facilitate a sale, which includes qualifying sellers as well as buyers, you are off track.

I would look into laws regarding acting in the capacity of a licensee.

@Mike Cartmell in my neck of the woods you, as a licensee you could probably get in trouble for a transaction like this.

As I stated, advertising properties you do not own is illegal in FL.Brokering: licensees advertising, representing others, etc via listing agreements.I don't call what these unlicensed brokers do "wholesaling" I call it what it is: unlicensed brokering.
