Here in Canada it would be very beneficial to have a real estate license if you are marketing to RE agents. I know that some agents do use VAs to do calls to clients and upload files to the MLS system, BUT, several agents have told me that they can get in trouble with their associations if they have an unlicensed assistant do this kind of stuff for them. Some do it anyway and consider the fine a cost of doing business, but the people I've talked to won't do it.

I think it's an expensive and time consuming process to get the licence. People I know who have their licenses really sweated over the studying. I also think most agents won't spend the money on having someone do their admin work for them, especially since real estate agencies hire in-house office staff at $8-$10 per hour.
