Agents outside of VLS are licensed by the state and must take a considerable amount of mandatory training before and after taking the licensing exam to get and keep their license. I have been told (by both a VLS agent and a MLS agent) that VLS agents are also licensed by the state, so are also subject to the education rules to get/keep their license. As a former Realtor in MA, this makes sense to me because they are dealing with a legal contract, whether it is for a new home or a re-sale.
