I ran a pretty sizable HML shop in Oakland with my brokers license.. and you don't need to be a member of MLS or the board or anything.. although In Oregon were we are very active my wife is a broker and we have MLS access which is important for what we do.. build new construction and sell it.. the amount of money we save is pretty significant we sell about 10 mil or a little more of our own inventory a year.. so if I had to pay a broker to list it  that's 200k to 300k we save right there.. 

You can get them at the Bandit Shop.
