Who is allowed to make appointments on behalf of the broker without requiring a real estate license?

Buyers and sellers of real estate are permitted to make appointments on behalf of the broker without needing a real estate license because they operate within their rights as property owners or individuals engaged in a transaction. The law acknowledges that individuals directly involved in a real estate deal, such as buyers and sellers, can communicate their intentions, schedule showings, or negotiate terms directly with brokers or agents as part of their engaging in the process of buying or selling property.

In contrast, individuals or entities such as investors, other brokers, or real estate assistants typically require a real estate license to engage in professional real estate activities on behalf of others, which includes making binding decisions or commitments regarding property transactions. The distinction is that buyers and sellers are acting in their own interests rather than on behalf of others, which is the key factor that exempts them from licensing requirements when it comes to appointments related to their transactions.
