How to Transition Your License

Step 1: Verify Eligibility

Ensure your real estate license is active and in good standing. If your license is inactive or set to expire, check your state’s requirements for reactivation before starting the transition process.

* Although you are not required to be a member of any local, state or national associations, it is your obligation to maintain the continuing education requirements outlined by your state of licensure to ensure your real estate license remains active and in good standing.

Step 2: Submit Your Application

Complete our simple online application form to begin the process. Provide the following details:

• Your current license information.

• The state(s) where your license is held.

• Contact details for your current broker, if applicable.

Our team will review your application promptly and guide you through the next steps.

Step 3: Notify Your Current Broker

If you’re currently affiliated with another brokerage, you’ll need to notify your broker of your intention to transfer your license. This is a standard step required by most state real estate commissions.

We’ll work with you to ensure the transfer process is smooth and compliant with your state’s regulations.

Step 4: Transfer Your License

Patriot Trust Realty Associates will help you facilitate the transfer of your license to our brokerage. Depending on your state, this may involve:

• Filing transfer paperwork online with your state’s real estate commission.

• Paying a small transfer fee (varies by state). You are required to pay any license transfer fees.

Our team will handle the details and keep you informed every step of the way.

Step 5: Start Referring Clients

Once your license is officially transferred to Patriot Trust Realty Associates, you’ll be onboarded as a referral agent. You’ll receive all the tools and resources you need to start referring clients and earning commissions right away.
