In order to provide real estate brokerage services to the public for compensation, all of the following entities must be licensed EXCEPT

Property management companies are involved in managing rental properties and require a real estate brokerage license to handle leases and collect rent on behalf of property owners. Their activities directly relate to brokerage services, necessitating licensure to ensure compliance with real estate laws.

Corporations that provide real estate services, such as buying, selling, or leasing properties, must obtain a real estate brokerage license. This requirement ensures that corporations engage in these activities legally and with the appropriate oversight, similar to individual brokers.

Partnerships that operate in the real estate sector, including those involved in buying, selling, or managing properties, also need to be licensed as real estate brokers. Licensing ensures that all partners comply with real estate regulations and maintain professional standards in their transactions.
