Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions:
A referral only brokerage is a real estate brokerage that focuses on referring potential clients to other active agents and doesn’t represent clients in their real estate transactions. As a result, agents can skip most of the fees and dues conventional brokerages and agents carry when actively assisting clients in their real estate transactions.
The main benefit for agents is the ability to keep their real estate license active and eligible to receive commission for referring potential clients to others. This is very useful for agents who are not actively assisting clients, are retiring, or simply taking a break from real estate to focus on other activities.
Also, agents skip the vast majority of the expenses incurred when actively assisting clients with their real estate transaction.

If you are a member of the Realtor® Association and any MLS, you will need to cancel those membership with them.
Referral License Parking is a term used when an agent is not actively assisting clients but want to keep the license active to be able to receive commission for referring clients to other agents. So agents “park” their license to keep it active with the DBPR.
No. Florida law states that licensees can only receive compensation from their brokerage. So all compensation is paid to a brokerage who then pays the agent. So when you send a referral to another agent, the broker of that agent can only pay agents in its firm, or another broker.
No. You can only be licensed under one broker. When you join us, we will transfer your license over to us with the DBPR.
