While it is common for buyers to work with an agent, it is not a requirement for a licensee to go through another licensee to make an offer on a property. A licensee can represent themselves in the transaction as long as proper disclosures are made.

A licensee does not need written permission from their principal broker to make an offer on a property they are interested in purchasing. However, they must follow their broker's policies and procedures, but this does not equate to a legal requirement to obtain permission for making an offer.

There is no obligation for a licensee to wait for the seller's response to other offers before making their own offer. Licensees can submit offers at any time, regardless of the status of other offers, provided they adhere to the necessary disclosure requirements.
