Under Washington's real estate licensing law (RCW Chapter 18.85), several categories of individuals and activities are exempt from the broker licensing requirement. Which of the following is NOT exempt from the Washington real estate broker licensing requirement?

Correct Answer

C) A licensed Washington property manager collecting rents and managing a residential property for a fee

Property management for compensation — including collecting rents, negotiating leases, and managing residential properties on behalf of others for a fee — constitutes real estate brokerage activity under RCW 18.85 and requires a broker license. A person who manages property for others for compensation must hold a Washington real estate broker license (or be supervised by a Designated Broker). Simply calling oneself a 'property manager' does not exempt one from the licensing requirement.

Answer Options
A
An attorney at law performing real estate activities as part of their legal representation of a client
B
A property owner selling their own property without the assistance of a licensee
C
A licensed Washington property manager collecting rents and managing a residential property for a fee
