Hi, I am a new investor starting up in Hartford County, Connecticut. Do I need a real estate license to assign contracts in wholesaling property?

Hello,  I am Attorney Max L. Rosenberg and would be happy to answer your questions.  If you are the buyer and/or seller of the properties, and do not act as an agent for others no license is required. However getting the license will assist in streamlining your investments.  As a licensee you would not want to represent the buyer or seller as it could be seen as a breach of fiductiary duty.  You wnat to be your own agent and not represent it any otherway.  Create an LLC that purchases the properties, and when you find a buyer, assign the contract listing you as the refering agent to collect the fee at closing. If we can be of further service, please contact me at 203.870.6700
