Is it legal for a lawyer who is not a licensed real estate agent to earn a real estate commission in Minnesota?

It depends on why he was given the comission. If he was given the comission for quot;legal servicesquot; then it s legal; if he got the comission for acting as a real state agent then is illegal. If you are sure this lawyer is not a licensed real state agent (he could be licensed even if he keep working as a lawyer) you can report him to the Real Sate Agency and to the IRS (probably he wont report the income if it was illegal).

YES! ALL LAWYERS HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COLLECT COMMISSION ON REAL ESTATE SALES. I cannot quote you a law but I do know as a licenses real estate broker the only other peopel entitled to collect a commission are brokers or lawyers.
