I'm sure he/she was referring to an assistant.Of course laws differ by state, but I know that here in Tennessee the law is very explicit about what exactly you can and cannot do without a real estate license (this comes up all the time, since busy agents often hire assistants and it needs to be absolutely clear about what they are allowed to do and what must absolutely be done by the licensed agent).

Indeed, you could, over time, establish a relationship of confidence and trust with someone you have never met in person.

I am currently working for a real estate development company and has a real estate license.

I don’t really have a mentor figure to help me a long the way, so I was hoping I could get some advice from here.I signed up for my real-estate licenses a few weeks back and my classes start 4/27, one of my question is, would it be wiser to wait until I have competed the class to purchase a home, to obtain somewhat of an advantage when working with a realtor.I’m scared I’m going to get taken advantage of, due to the lack of knowledge in the purchasing a home.

If you find that the realtor was being crooked then contact your local associtation of realtors, if they did what you think they did, there license could be revoked for not protecting the best interest of the seller, which is one of the pledges that realtors take

I had to submit estimates from licensed and bonded contractors, and I could not dwell in the property.

I would never get into something until all of my ducks are in a row...meaning that I have already established a solid network of investors waiting for my deals (which I have), and having a custom Purchase Agreement with enough contingencies to cover me whether I cannot find an invester to assign my contract to (this is the worse case scenerio)...if it were completely impossible for me to assign my contract, my agreement allows for me to walk away from the deal without any risk to me (although this is not fair to the seller).

Trust me, I'm working feverishly as we speak to find someone who's a bit more established and interested in the deal.

This certainly appears to be an extensive site, with great information.Having held a real estate license and actually worked with a real estate firm some years ago, I do have some knowledge about investing in real estate, but it’s been many years since I’ve actually participated in that field.Let me try to be as brief as possible.

I know the key is to establish a reputation as reliable so I want to be able to come through on a deal with him so that I can establish that relationship.
