CA Real Estate License In A Down Market
When every penny in a deal counts for you, then having a CA real estate license can sure help out. If you are on the selling side, it will allow you to be able to go down your price up to an additional 6% off of your lowest number with an agent, because you will be saving that commission.
On the buying side, having a CA real estate license will allow you to bid a little more than perhaps another investor is willing to pay, because you will be saving at least part of the commission on the sale of the property.
