Bogus licensing/credentials etc are one of the classic tools of crony capitalism.

I don't know why we have state licensing at all. Risk management is up to the insurers. Let them make the call of qualifications v. risks v. scope of work, etc. State licensing offers no warranty for performance and no culpability for evaluating qualifications effectively.

She could even be making all her dough through banner ads, but either way, the USSR should butt out of free speech. The only reason they can control the speech of real estate agents is because they are licensed. Now they are trying to force her to get a license in order to even show people what real estate is available.

Dispicable.

Not even a finders fee or the cost of listing? I would think she is making something. Maybe customers like Angie’s lists who pay a fee

It’s not a free speech issue. It’s a commerce issue. The woman is posting homes for sale at the moment. The state of Nebraska is just asking that she be licensed and know the states rules and regulations pertaining to Real Estate.

It would be much different if she was posting homes *she* had for sale.

What if she where posting other peoples homes for sale and sorting them by racial stats of the area they are in?

None of my business.Its a free speech issue. But once she agrees that she needs a license, she gives up her first amendment rights. In some states you can not call a family room a family room. Disgusting.

She could be using Google AdSense, affiliate links, banner ads, or any number of other ways to monetize her site. Those would have nothing to do with the properties that she's listing (other than the fact that same people who view the listings would also see the ads).
