    Hi,

    A real estate license is completely different from a credit license.

    Cheers, Ivan

    Does a hair dresser need a builders licence to work as a parking inspector?

    Hi bj

    You need a full Real Estate Licence if you are involved in selling property directly by yourself or for example if you do JVs. Alternatively if you obtain your Certificate of Registration you can buddy up with someone who is fully licenced to sell property. It has nothing to do with the Credit Licence which is required if you provide/manage finance yourself (as in an Instalment Contract). Again I’ve been told if you don’t have a Credit Licence you can get the assistance of someone who does have one.

    Hope that helps!

    Do you mean selling properties for others Tamara? Because you are allowed to sell your own property without a licence aren’t you?

    On this note, how many developers, or investors in Australia get there licence? Are there advantages/disadvantages?

    Yes you can sell your own property via private treaty.
    Not sure about your other question, what license are you asking about in particular? do u mean a builder’s license?

    Oh gosh, how did I do that grammatical error with the word ‘there’ . I have never done that!

    Moving on. I mean get their Real Estate Licence in order to buy/sell their own properties and investments that they purchase through their companies.

    If you sell someone else’s property, you need a real estate licence. You don’t need a license to sell your own property.

    A developer, selling their own properties (100% ownership), does not require a real estate licence. If they are in a JV, then they are selling someone else’s property.

    Unless they build the properties, they don’t need a builders licence either.

    One of the best reads I’ve found regarding licensing, specifically for vendor finance, was written by Tony Cordato. It can be found via CLICK HERE.
