I got my RE license as a means of targeted learning about RE, but being that it was a side endeavor and my main job salary and satisfaction kept improving I never made a full jump into RE agent-hood and hanging my license with a broker.My question as a potential primary residence buyer in new big-builder home purchase, could I hang my license with either a 100% commission brokerage or a broker friend for the transaction to retain the buyer's commission?
