Real Estate License: Best Approach
Thursday, February 7th, 2008The best approach to obtain a real estate license is to allow an unlicensed broker to collect a fee only when the real estate is incidental to the transaction. The brokers had contended that the sale of the real property was only incidental in the sale of the landfill business, and that the permits, equipment and other personal property required to run the business were critical. The court disagreed. The sale involved 180 acres of real estate, which formed the landfill itself. In such a case, the court said, the land could not possibly be incidental" to the business as the brokers argued.
