Question: Can a New Jersey Lawyer collect a commission on the sale of real estate? 

Answer: New Jersey is very strict with their real estate laws.  Commissions can only be collected by a licensed real estate agent.  Technically an attorney who is a licensed real estate agent can accept a commission.  If they are acting as a lawyer AND real estate agent on the same deal it might create a conflict of interests, by not representing their client's needs to the fullest.  This might be a problem with the New Jersey Real Estate Commission.
