A person who violates this subsection is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
    (c) The licensing requirements of this Act do not require a real estate broker or salesperson who holds a valid license pursuant to the Real Estate License Act of 2000, to be licensed as a real estate appraiser under this Act, unless the broker or salesperson is providing or attempting to provide an appraisal report, as defined in Section 1‑10 of this Act, in connection with a federally‑related transaction.
    For the purposes of this subsection, "brokerage service" means the activity of offering, negotiating, buying, listing, selling, or leasing real estate or procuring or referring prospects intended to result in the listing, sale, purchase, lease, or exchange of real estate for another and for compensation.
