Yep. I got burned out at one point and got my real estate license. I was going to go into commercial real estate and build a residential website in my spare time. Good grief what a scheme that entire field is. If I wanted access to residential MLS data I was going to have to be a residential realtor. To be a residential realtor you have to work for a broker who will charge you monthly for the pleasure. You have to put the name of the brokerage on any site that uses the data even if you pay for it yourself. You also have to pay for each MLS you want to access. If you want to start your own brokerage you have to get a brokerage license. To do that you have to have your real estate license for 3 years and take the brokerage class. There’s nothing you actually have to do during that 3 years other than maintain your license. Seeing the profession from the inside was eye opening and I’ve been extremely happy getting to enjoy being in an unlicensed profession ever since.
