Property Management without Broker as an employee

[Stephen Photianos]

Hi all. I am a licensed real estate sales person in the state of Georgia. I am looking to get into property management. Naturally, my licence is held by a broker with a particular company.

My question is: Can I start my own property management company without having a broker on staff? As a sales person, I am qualified to do the activities associated with property management. But I am not a lawyer, and I want to make sure I understand the legalities as best I can . Thanks for your input.

Have you tried reaching out to your local real estate division to talk to someone there? They should be able to either answer that question or point you in the right direction per the requirements of your state.  I personally always email my division and they are pretty quick in getting back to me. In my state, in order to be a PM, I have a separate permit attached to my license and I have to be brokered under someone who also holds that same permit.
