A: Yes, you would typically need to be a licensed real estate agent in California to offer properties for sale to California residents, even if the properties are located overseas. Real estate laws and regulations vary by state, and it's important to comply with the laws and regulations of the state where you are offering the properties for sale. If you're not sure about the specific requirements in California, it's best to consult with a real estate attorney or the California Department of Real Estate.
