You can ask an attorney (not the one you used) there about professional liability with a licensee advising a certain broker.

With that in mind, I have a few questions: 1) What is the general sentiment from RE brokers regarding salesperson licensees that want to be sponsored only to gain MLS access to invest for themselves (not for outside clients)?

If you are interested in connecting with our licensee in SA, drop me a note and I'll send you his contact info.

Of course you would still have to disclose your licensee status as an investor.

The state commissions care nothing about these third party organizations.As a licensed agent in most states you have to hang your license under a brokerage to conduct business as a licensee.

I am a licensee and I have to tell you that a license is not a huge asset to an investor.

Teaming up with a licensee, and splitting the commission somehow will ensure you don't lose out on this.

1.As an AGENT (i.e, you have established an agency relationship with one of the principals in the transaction), you are required to complete the agency disclosure form, it is a standard CAR form.2.As a PRINCIPAL (i.e. no agency relationship), there is no legal requirement to disclose your status as a real estate licensee, in CA.

Check with a brokerage in your state and see what they say about you drafting your own documents as a licensee.

First, as a licensee, you must disclose this fact when you make your offer.
