No License For Builders

So after some extensive research it turns out that only two (as far as I have found to date) builders in the Atlanta area require you to surrender your licesne (Please note I am not speaking of putting it on hold with holding company this is actual surrender). Why? I asked myself would a New Home Sales Builder want you to surrender your license and become a warm body in their office. Well I posed this question to my Realtor friends all came up with a different answer ranging from 1. Not having to pay broker fees to 2. Wanting to fly under the radar. So Active Rain bloggers what are your thoughts and would you do it for a price?
