<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" class="">Dear Rob, about nine years ago the DOL put out “guidance” on this point and it has been of concern to real estate investors since then. I disagree with the department because a licensed broker is not a party
to the underlying transaction but the buyer who assigns his or her contract to someone else is. This is the guidance that the DOL put out which I understand will not go to the listserv. Yours truly, Doug Owens<br class="">

<div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="">Any experience with DOR or DOL taking the position that real estate investors who assign purchase contracts must be licensed real estate brokers (RCW 18.85)? I have seen a recent inquiry by
DOL of one of my real estate investor clients. Clients who are in the business of getting property under contract and then assigning the buyer's interest for consideration that is typically only paid at the time of closing on the settlement statement. One
of the complaints was by a disgruntled local licensed real estate broker who is a competitor.</div>
