We advise our licensees to ASK PERMISSION from any property owner where you wish to post your sign and REMOVE THE SIGNS after a few days (i.e., put them out Fri - Sun night) so they don't just turn into trash along the side of the road.Wish you the best!

However, just one deal a year easily covers that out of the commission so it's a cost of doing business, and to me it makes sense.Being held to a higher standard and having to disclose being a licensee isn't really a negative for me, I firmly believe the only way to build a sustainable, localized business of any kind is shooting for a win for both parties through full transparency and doing the right thing at all times and in every deal (sorry didn't mean to moralize).On the broker front, I'm signing up with Summit Realty Group, they're licensed in Texas, operate virtually, and charge a reasonable per-transaction fee only.

I am a real estate licensee in the State of Florida.

It's much easier to cut out a non licensee from a transaction if they are not a principal in the transaction.

Check into "net listing" issues for licensees.

HUD has a policy that the listing broker for HUD, any licensees under that broker and their close relatives cannot buy a HUD home, no matter who has it listed.

@Jason Eyerly all the comments above are accurate.In Indiana, every licensee must be a broker by June of this year.The only other way to get access to the MLS is to work at a brokers office as a non-licensed assistant.

I called the state agency that oversees real estate licensees in my state.

An agent needs to disclose their license status, generally at the first opportunity, in any real estate dealing where they have an interest, so yes, you need to disclose.While an agent can be in any business arrangement with others, out of RE, doing RE in any manner with non-licensees is not a good idea.Some states require that any RE company of any kind doing RE sales requires a licensee to be a broker, not an agent, you need to check that out.The RE commission may go through any business books of any licensee, meaning they could demand the books and records of your 50/50 LLC.
