Anyone become a licensed real estate agent as an attorney? In Virginia and want to know if attorneys get any pref treatment to become licensed. I’ve looked at the code and does not seem like it but want to confirm.

In PA it means you don’t have to take the coursework but must still test. Best bet is to look at the regulations and call the licensing board administrator.

Thanks I’ll call. 99% sure there is no break in VA.

In NY, a lawyer can legally act as a real estate broker without a real estate brokerage license pursuant to NY real estate license law. But, if you’re acting as the broker for the deal, attorney ethic rules preclude you from also lawyering the deal. I’m not sure about VA, but you should check your local real estate license laws and local bar ethic rules.

PGC1, believe you are correct! As long as the dual roles are disclosed (see RPL s. 443). I was just speaking in general for my initial comment and appreciate the added specificity/insight. I didn’t realize paperwork was even required but haven’t pursued anything beyond lawyering/litigating in the RE arena myself. Good to know!

In Illinois a licensed attorney can take the exam to become a broker without having completed the same study requirements. I believe they don’t have to complete any of the studying that a non-attorney must do. They can simply register and take the exam.
