if no license is required to bring buyers and sellers together then there would be no real estate industry and all no department of real estate in each state etc etc.. be just like China they have no rules anyone can do anything.Kind of like student pilots who never actually get their license but continue to fly for  years and years totally illegally.. or doctors that practice without proper license or no license at all.. etc etc.. its the law that's why many brokers like myself protect our industry..

I'm a professional engineer and project manager who's been in the design/construction industry for about 13 years now.
