A transcript from the degree-issuing institution is required as proof. This is fairly common practice in most states, since those holding a valid law degree have more than fulfilled any educational requirements needed to pass the real estate exam. However, an attorney is STILL required to have either a salesperson's or broker's license in order to actually PRACTICE real estate. Absent such a license, the attorney can only handle legal matters concerning real estate work, but cannot actually be paid a commission or generate a sale.

Do you really think they are not taught legal practices real estate in THEIR state in law school? How do you think that real estate attorney's get to be real estate attorney's? Think about it.
