You can find education everywhere you look as a licensee.

Here are some ideas and terms I didn't think of.Right now, of course the company needs to make money but as a new licensee, I need to work in the field, so I totally agree!

@Thomas Dowell:I'm not a licensee in your state, but are you allowed to share fees with non licensees?

As to partnering with an agent, and many of them may be unaware, you need to check the licensing requirements for entities and officers and directors or members holding a significant ownership in a company that buys, sells, lists, leases or manages properties as they may all be required to hold a license and their broker may need to be involved or they may need a broker's license.Agents also have issues with splitting proceeds in any transaction with someone who is not a licensee.

That's my opinion.In some states, "splitting commissions" with non-licensees can be a violation of state law.

I have some fuzzy memories about different duties of care owed to licensee's, invitee's, etc.

From my understanding, there is no "law" being broken, just some "rules" that the real estate licensee is not permitted to share login access with anybody.

RESPA provides that, "No person shall give and no person shall accept any fee, kickback, or thing of value pursuant to any agreement or understanding, oral or otherwise, that business incident to or a part of a real estate settlement service involving a federally related mortgage loan shall be referred to any person." 6 Most loans are "federally related" because that includes not only loans made by federally insured lenders (almost all banks are insured by the FDIC), but also loans intended to be sold to a federal institution such as Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.This prohibition applies to both licensees and laypersons.

Yes, you act as an agent individually under a broker or if you have a broker's licensee then you can have a company under the brokers company.

I've seen some threads on this in the past and I think you need to disclose you are a licensee (with DRE #)at some point in the letter.
