Laws

License Required? Yes. Most of the property manager’s duties are those of a broker, which requires a real estate license (§ 467-7).

Exceptions – A property manager does not require a license when they own the property they are managing, as long as they are not a real estate developer or buy property to avoid the state licensing requirements (§ 467-2(1)). Additionally, an individual employed directly by a single property owner as a caretaker or custodian does not need a license (§ 467-2(3)).
