I have gone back and forth with this for a while. I have a real estate license and do still sell real estate to my friends and family and their referrals only. I do not market real estate at this time.

I tried to hang my license but my broker decided that I wouldn't have to pay fees or anything for a year.. Well now the year is up and I'm trying to decide what to do. I told him that I wasn't actively selling real estate but he won't listen. My intent was to deactivate it (which you can do for up to 18 months without having to retake everything). I really enjoy real estate and would love to come back to it later in life when the VA business is running itself.

I think thats an either way situation in terms of reception of it.. Some might fear it as competition, some are happy that you have it because you actually understand the transaction and what needs to get done with out much direction.
