Hawaii Real Estate State Practice Exam

In Hawaii, unlicensed time share acquisition agents are not required to become licensed as real estate salespersons or brokers if their activities do not constitute a real estate transaction as defined by law. Time share acquisition agents typically engage in specific marketing or referral activities related to time shares, which may fall outside the definition of real estate sales. Therefore, without engaging directly in the sale or negotiation of real estate transactions, these agents can operate without requiring a real estate license.

The license requirement specifically hinges on whether an individual is involved in activities that require a real estate license, such as negotiating sales, collecting rents, or similar actions that require professional licensure. As a result, unlicensed time share acquisition agents can perform their duties legally without a real estate license unless their activities expand into areas that fit the licensing criteria.
