Steps to become an Unlicensed Assistant

[Tristan S.]

Hello everyone,

I did some research about the steps involved in becoming a real estate agent unlicensed assistant in Texas but was not able to find solid information.

I would like to know how the process work, what are the required steps, what kind of fees are involved ?

Your help is much appreciated.

Im speaking of the states Im licensed in, which is 4, so Texas could be different....but real estate commissions set regulations and to receive MLS access you need to be a licensed agent or an employee of a real estate agent. That means there assistant must receive a W2 or 1099 income from the agent and actually be employed by them. It is not allowable to have a quid pro quo, or allowed for someone to pay an agent or provide leads. It is only for employees of the agent. In any of the 4 states I am licensed in, an agent would face serious repercussions in fines and possible loss of license for breaking the law. I dont write the laws, I just follow them.
