A broker/agent here hires people to stay in line to purchase the 10 ticket limit for sporting events and concerts at face value then puts them for sale at a elevated price. Just curious what the difference between being a broker and scalper???
I think I might go into the ticket brokering business then. Its crazy that venues would even allow it but I guess as long as they get their cut they don’t care how much they are resold for.

How come they did not mention he was a Democrat?

Side Burner asked:


Let’s say a broker has given a loan to a small business but the business fails to pay him back. Is the broker allowed to take the small business for himself? Or does the bank get the business?

Can I use my middle name for my last name when doing business?

The Financier asked:


I’m in the Real Estate Finance business and work as an independent broker representative. I send out a lot of emails, marketing pieces, and hand out a lot of business cards. I use my middle name as my last name on my marketing pieces and when talking with clients and associates because my last name is just too long and complicated, especially in an email address. I do, however, sign my legal documents with my first, middle, and last name all together. Is it legal to market myself using just my middle name? Can I legally use my middle name without my last name for business even for legal documents if I get some type of DBA (Doing Business As)?

Please someone tell me I don’t have to legal delete my last name to make this work!
