I say he could have granted the buyer a MLO and/or long-term purchase and sale agreement that had the terms of the exit established, yet closing delayed until his passing. 

One of the strategies i have seen in the past was sending post cards or some sort of material to agents that recently got licensed.

So I have a friend with a beautiful newly renovated home that they have outgrown and looking to sell...I do not have a license and they don’t want to pay a listing agent fee if they can avoid it..

@Andrew Johnson the subhect you broght up is very interesting, I am guessing that this firm wants to establish long term relationship with investors.

Unless of course you have some amazing partnership written agreement that had took all little details in consideration and you know for sure that you getting $24,000 returned to you no matter what happens.Her RE license is not at risk because it's a business transaction with you in partnership and business goes bad sometimes.

The homes are then licensed to the LLC for property management.
