Question

Mike is registering his real estate company. He has a license and all of his sales associates and broker associates have licenses. Why does the company need to be registered?

Answer 1

If Mike was a real estate broker that wants to work independently, he can, but real estate agents cannot work independently, they must work for a real estate broker.

Since Mike works along with other sales associates and broker associates in a company, the company must be registered. All real estate companies must be registered in every single state that they do business in.
