(b) negotiating with, or inducing or attempting to induce, a person to— (i) buy, sell, exchange, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of land; or contract to buy, sell, exchange, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of land; (c) collecting payments under a lease; (d) managing property under a lease; (e) collecting payments under a mortgage of land or payments under a terms contract for land; (f) acting as manager of an owners corporation for a units plan; (g) any other service prescribed by regulation for this section.
