In California, can a lawyer act as a real estate agent for a buyer and collect 2% commission from the sale?

On May 29, 2009 / By Real Estate Law Help / In California-Real-Estate-Law

California Business and Professions Code 10131 and 10133 collectively state that a lawyer can assist in the sale of a home without having a real estate agents license. My sister uses an agent for buying homes and the seller usually pays the agent’s 2% commission. Can my sister use a lawyer as her agent (he does the same work as an agent would, doc review etc) and collect 2% commission from the seller. I appreciate answers based on CONCRETE INFO, such as laws, statutes, regulations etc. Responses from practicing attorneys are very welcome too!!!!
