Questions, straight answers
Every question people actually ask.
Is my license active?+
Yes. Your California real estate license stays on active status, hung with our sponsoring broker.

No. As a Referral Associate, you're not required to hold NAR/CAR or MLS membership. You keep the license, drop the recurring dues.
Can I refer myself?+
Yes. Buying or selling a home for yourself? Route the referral through your Referral Associate account and take the fee.
How fast are payouts?+
Broker-to-broker settlement at close of escrow, direct deposit. No waiting for a monthly cycle.
What's the house fee?+
A small percentage of the referral fee covers the sponsoring broker's E&O and admin. You keep 75%+.
Can I go back to active selling?+
Yes. Cancel, transfer your license out, and re-hang it with any brokerage. Nothing traps you.
Is this legal?+
Yes. Broker-to-broker referral fees are permitted under written agreements and disclosed to clients. Both brokers are licensed. Every referral is documented.
