Advice re: "Marketing" thieves... (by R P.):

They say that BECAUSE they are not licensed real estate brokers they are by law not allowed (in Florida at least) to sell on commission as realtors do. Does anyone know if THIS is true? MD
They don't want a realtors license ... if they had one they couldn't ask for an upfront fee ... legitimate realtors take their fee AFTER the sell, not BEFORE. All they're after is that upfront fee and their mission is accomplished.
