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?

Once you hire a main cleaner you trust you won't need to inspect every time.

The right to sell houses for other people is the main benefit.

Mainly just family and work friends.

Should I immediately rescind my offer and tell the seller to fix that situation and get back to me after, reassess/resubmit the offer with the eviction factored in, stay put and inquire more about the eviction, or whatever else I'm not thinking of?
