LICENSING QUALIFICATIONS AND
REQUIREMENTS LESSON 1 QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
kThe main thing to remember about activities requiring licensure is "on behalf of others, for
compensation of any kind." You must have a real estate license to perform real estate activities for
another person for any kind of payment. -
So, if you are the owner or lessor of a property, you can sell, offer for sale, or negotiate the purchase or
sale or exchange of that property without a license. You can also buy or offer to buy property for
yourself. But if you are doing these things for another person, you must have a license, except in specific
circumstances. -
