Update broker/agent information with the Department of Real Estate

OR IT CAN BECOME A PROBLEM ALL AROUND.

This is the second time during the past week that I have found inaccurate or not updated information about agents on the Department of Real Estate website.

On one that I came across yesterday, neither the broker nor the agent had made the update. What that means is that the AGENT IS NBA, which means, in a non working status:

The licensee may not perform acts for which a real estate license is required in California. Salesperson reference for NBA is equivalent to 'No Broker Affiliation' and the broker/corporation reference to NBA is equivalent to 'No Business (current main office) Address'.

When you have listings, the owners may not even know that you are not allowed to service that listing!!!!

And all because you haven't gone into the DRE website and made that change - instantly.

PS. Please see what happened to me yesterday where this became an issue and I was scrambling to find information for my buyer.

As you are away all loan officers must be part of the National NMLS system, which means each person must have to be registered. I get calls from time to ime from loan officers that are looking to get fees with any kind of licensing at all. Splitting fees of any kind in the mortgage industry is illegal. Some haven't gotten the message.

Joe: When it comes to fees, both real estate and the mortgage industry have firm rules. In my case, the brokerage would get my offer (because they still have the listing). If they then pay the agent depends.

Pretty amazing how people can often forget the bureaus that must be updated in a timely manner when changes occur. 

By the way, yes I do have numerous German clients.......I lived there for 17 years and naturally friends recommend colleagues here and you know how that can snowball. I love working with Europeans! Were you born in Germany?

Barbara-Jo: Yes, I was born in northern Germany right on the Danish border. Went to a Danish school. That makes English my third language.
