I suggest that anyone looking to buy or sell a home make sure they are working with a licensed real estate professional by simply calling their state's real estate commission or checking the real estate commission's website.
Why would someone NOT become licensed in the business they are actively involved in, such as real estate? Hmmm...
Take some photos of the open house and report them to the state licensing board. They only way to stop it, is to have them get civil fines.
Just got off the phone with the state real estate commission. They can't do anything because he's not licensed - and nor will the attorney general for the same reason.
How ya like them apples?
Now I get why they've been getting away with it ... who the hell is going to stop them?
I have not seen this but then again, there are not many foreclosed properties in my area.
Are these properties in the MLS...perhaps flat fee listings?
Is there a common bank or more likely asset manager?
In my neck of the woods, asset managers usually require a substantial referral fee from the listing broker/agent. From a net proceeds standpoint, use of bird dogs or licensed brokers with a substantial referral fee might be the same. I see a bus. op here.

That makes no sense. Unlicensed activity is fined heavily here. They would just issue a civil fine.
The only company I've seen do this some middle company that stuck a sign in the yard for I think Taylor Bean. I wasn't familiar with them and called the 1-800# just because I was curious.
