Real estate license

[Ramiro Rodriguez]

Should I get my real estate license for the SOLE purpose of Education?

I do not intend to use the license as an agent but I want to learn what happens behind the scenes of a real estate transaction.

Would anyone recommend this?

Also if I were to get my real estate license would I be able to view the MLS or would I have to "hang my license" with a broker in order to have access to he MLS?

Anything helps!

Regarding MLS- In Dallas, you can't join an association (who provides MLS access) unless your broker is also a member of that association. When I hung my license with a primarily commercial broker who didn't use the MLS, my broker had to join, then I could join and get MLS access.
