Just because you're married to the broker- does not make you a real estate agent!?
In the state of Florida you MUST have an ACTIVE real estate license registered with the DBPR?if you are going to act as a real estate agent, imply that you are a real estate agent, perform the duties of a licensed real estate agent, negotiate a real estate transaction for another party other than yourself.... ?
We have an agent in our office who has been working on a transaction with another "agent" from another real estate company.?
This transaction has been in the works for about one week now. There were some issues with this other agent so we were trying to find her broker so that we could discuss the problem with him.?
Upon our investigation into this company we discovered through the Florida state licensing department- DBPR-?that her license was inactive.?
We alerted the "agent" to this fact.?
You will not believe what her response was!?
She wrote in an email to our agent that she voluntarily put her license inactive because she works with her husband who is the broker!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, heck, I work with my husband too and he is the broker of our company too! But I have to have an ACTIVE license in order to do ANY real estate licensed activities!!!! Just because I am married to Nestor does not make me an agent! I would save a lot of money if I did not have to keep a valid and active license but that is against the law!?
You can GO TO PRISON!!!!?
Florida State Statutes 475.42 (1)(a) states that a person who operates as as a broker or a sales associate without being the holder of a valid and current active license?"commits a FELONY of the the third degree".?
Can you go to jail if you are convicted of a FELONY in the third degree?????I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out!?
Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 775.082 a third degree felony is punishable by a prison term not exceeding five years.?
It may be a good idea for you to ask your agent if they have an ACTIVE Florida license before you list your home with that agent.?
