I made the biggest mistake of my life going to college after dropping out when I was 25 because my caregiver at the time essentially gave me the ultimatum that if I plan on living with her, I didn't have a choice.

But as you saw, you had no choice with the tradesman.

And I gave him a choice to bring a referral such as his friend or colleague that I will screen before allowing him to stay in the apartment.

The choice on this to me seem to involve litigator behavior in each individual state as well as down to property local judicial behavior, and what is standard operating procedure (which could change over time for the better or worse).To me a blanket statement of "full faith and credit" seems like yes you can go the moon, without filling in the blanks of you need to have rocket and will have to pay for a rocket....So basically, business wise (from a cost stand point and risk stand point) to make "full faith and credit" happen is this a wise choice?

From a business sense, I agree with @Ryan Ingram above; it's fairly fluid, but the choice to change course should be looked at carefully. 

And yes, you still need to disclose that you, as a principal, are a licensed real estate agent.big shops like Keller are sticklers and worry about exposure.. small brokers this is no problem.. there are so many choices these days of brokers just need to call around.

We’ve analyzed 30 markets across the country and this was one of our top choices.

@Mickey Brown, you're kind of asking 3 things of one flooring product: durability, fix squeaks, minimize sound transfer.Your flooring choice will only address the 1st.

And I want to clarify, I am not looking down on them or knocking them or their choices, only pointing out it takes a certain type of person to be an entrepreneur, and owning a business is not for everyone.  

American Modern- They are also a good choice.
