I know a few people who want to manage residential property for others for others. They do not know that they may have to work under a real estate agent or have a permit to perform those services.
So no, you can’t just go to the real estate management company. You can be paid to carry out repairs or to carry out maintenance or to scoop the walk or mowing the lawn etc.
In Minnesota, everyone who deals with selling, buying, exchanging, leasing or managing real estate for others, or to do this, needs a real estate license for a committee or other valuable consideration. This includes real estate agents and sellers.
It is a kind of Wild West there, a real estate manager without a permit may not be caught, but if they are, they will be fined and ordered to “stop and stop”.
As a license for brokers in Minnesota, I can manage real estate and allow others to manage that property against payment, but I don’t do that.
In Minnesota, to carry out the most common real estate management activities for another owner, you generally need a license of real estate broker. This includes tasks such as:
- Leasing or renting real estate.
- List Properties for rent.
- Purchase tenants or characteristics.
- Negotiating lease agreements.
- Collect rent.
Exceptions
There are some exceptions to this requirement:
- Ownership that is owned by you: If you have the property you manage, you generally do not need a license.
- Direct employees of the owner: Persons who work directly by the owner and have paid a salary or wages (form W-2) to manage the property may not need a license.
- On-site managers in residential buildings: employees of the owner or manager of a residential building that units in that building Lease units are exempt from the license requirement.
- Specific real estate types: certain properties such as nursing homes, hotels, motels and facilities with reasonable adjustments granted by the city under the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 can also be exempt.
If you are not sure if you need a license, go to the Minnesota Department of Commerce Website for more information.
