Obtaining a RE License to access MLS?
Hey BP - is it worth getting my real estate license for access to the MLS? Or would I be better off paying for it?

When people talk about the costs of having a real estate license they are talking about more than just the cost to take the class. Once you have that license to be considered a realtor you have to be in the National, State and local board of realtors. For me that costs $550/year. Then there is the mls access, which is over another $500 year then if you use electronic key boxes that is another monthly charge. Then, there is continuing education to renew your license every couple years depending on your state. The costs add up but it's definitely worth it if you use it.
