Question

A motel desk-clerk places a sign on the counter at work that says "If you are looking to buy a home, I can help." When he is asked by a motel patron about finding a home, the motel clerk says he is a real estate consultant and that he will give a licensed agent the patron's name after he (the clerk) determines the housing needs of the patron. When the sale is made, the motel clerk will share the commission with the licensed person. Does the clerk need a real estate license

Answer 1

Answer: Yes the clerk needs a real estate license, because he is holding himself out as a real estate consultant, working for others and collecting a fee

Any individual who arranges or settle a transaction with or aids a person in locating, or obtaining for purchase or lease real estate must hold a valid real estate license.
