Is it legal to charge for services in Second Life?

[AmelieIsFabu]

Me and my friend are planning on running a realtor buisness where we help people find houses. Is it legal to charge Lindens for buisnesses like this?

You can charge for standing on your head and whistling Dixie if you want.

 

(Just as a sim owner can ban you for doing it if he wants.)

Knock yourself out.

Might want to call yourself something other than "Realtors" though, because unfortunately that's a real world trademark. In sick and demented trademark law theory they (the association owning that trademark) could swoop into SL and demand you and your friend stop calling yourselves "Realtors", and LL would then say to you "you stop doing that please".

In practice, though?  They don't care, you don't care, LL doesn't care, and you go ahead do what you want, have fun with it!

You could be "VirtualRealtors" or something and that way proudly fly the middle finger all the way.
