Buying Land

Will A Real Estate License Help You as a Land Investor?

Pat Porter, with RecLand Realty, encounters a lot of seasoned investors in his line of work and people that want to get into land investing. Among the many questions that frequently surfaces: Should a real estate land investor go through the process of obtaining a real estate license?

Pat’s direct answer is no – you do not need a real estate license to become a successful real estate investor. Investors falsely think a real estate license will save them big money on commissions. The truth is, you don’t want to waste your time, energy, and more importantly, your money chasing a real estate license instead of chasing a good land deal.

In deciding whether or not getting licensed is worth the time and effort it will require, investors must first determine what they want to accomplish.

In this video, Pat Porter explains why you do not need a real estate license to become a successful land investor.
