@Christopher Hunter It's one more tool in the toolbox. Aside from that there are the commissions that you can use for putting into your deals, access to the MLS for selling your properties, etc. You may think you don't want to represent yourself, but in reality writing your own offers makes it so much easier than having to depend on another agent and work around them.

As far as liability, if you are an honest person, that does business in an ethical way, you don't have to worry about a license being a hindrance.

You may even want to work as an agent one day, who knows? It's just another option you'll have available to you.
