States Requiring Licenses... Is There a Detailed List?
I am inexperienced in commercial real estate, especially outside of CA and am watching out for the interests of a friend. I noticed on his brokerage's commercial property advertisements that he lists his CA license for properties located outside of CA.

&amp;nbsp;

**1.** Should he have a license in every state in which the listed property is located?

**2.** If not, what states must he have a license in even if his brokerage firm has a license in that state?

**3.** If his colleague (who has a license in that particular state) is also listed on the advertisement, is he excluded from having a state license?

Meaning, if I owned XYZ property, I could have someone lease my building without a license, but my agents could not engage a tenant and try to find them space in any other buildings.

For those that don't, you just pay a licensed broker to co list it and let them handle the paperwork.  \n\nWhen you look at marketing packs, you will regularly see out of state brokers info all over it then somewhere at the bottom \"Broker of Record: xyz\" who is licensed in that state.", "replies": [{"id": "d250vsw", "text": "Bingo.
