Default Re: Benefits of Real Estate Brokers license?

[ QUOTE ]
I am an attorney and it would be fairly easy for me to obtain a RE brokers license less the costs and fees.

But, I am not really interested in being a weekend real estate agent or anything like that. Could the license save me money on my own real estate transactions? Does it open any doors or allow me to do anything i can't already do?

[/ QUOTE ] One of the benifits would be access to the MLS. You could always try to work with real estate investors. Information such as new listings, expired listings, foreclosures, etc. can be valuable. Iv'e heard of scenarios where an investor will pay for lists of expired (unsold) properties monthly. You could also prescreen the listings for a specific criteria that the investor is operating in and present only those property types, with every purchase you rake in your commision. There are alot of interesting things that can be done to make money in the RE field. Just have to dig a bit to find something that will work for you.
