Who Needs a License?
A person needs a real estate license if they provide assistance which is in any way intended to result in the sale or lease of real estate. The Real Estate License Act provides eleven examples of the types of "assistance" that require a real estate license. Included are: representing clients in the negotiation of real estate sales contracts or leases, and issuing advertisements for the sale, purchase or lease of real estate. The assistance must be provided for others. Accordingly, a person who buys, sells or leases real estate as a "principal" does not need a real estate license. Compensation is required. Therefore, a person who provides assistance on a real estate transaction to a friend or relative, without compensation, does not need a license.

Where Do I Start?
