I am a CA Broker. What requirements there are for me to sell in CO. If I have a buyer and a seller and the property, can I broker the transaction in CO without having a CO license and get paid.

I plan on using an attorney for the paperwork. The license portability rules in CO give out-of-state brokers the opportunity to conduct business and get paid, the only caveat is that they have to work with an in-state broker on at least one side of the transaction. In CA the two levels of r. Hi Tim — Great question. Sometimes the terminology makes these situations a little tricky. Hi, thank you for all the help!!!!

You absolutely can be licensed in both states. And, there actually might be a special waiver for military spouses that would make the process even more streamlined. I would check with Arkansas Real Estate Commission to see what programs might be available for you. I have a license in Illinois that is currently with a holding company since I moved to Texas recently.

Great question. I am licensed in Utah, and have a family member wanting to list a home in Hawaii with me. Am I correct in my understanding that I must refer my family member to a Realtor there, and negotiate the commission under Physicality clause?

The home is also apart of the Family Trust? Does this make it more difficult, or no difference at all? You are partially correct. Because of the complications of co-listing with an ocean between you, I would definitely suggest making a referral rather than trying to list it yourself, especially if the home is in a trust. It is pretty common for Hawaiian homes to be held in trust; if I were in your shoes, I would want someone who knows that system in and out to be taking the lead.

Once you pass your national exam in one state do you have to pass a national in the other states even the ones that offer reciprocity? Or is it just the state exam that they require? Thank you. Thank you for having so much useful information! That way any commissions that I earn for work done in the state could be paid directly to me. Happy Holidays Chris. Do you know if Texas is now accepting reciprocity from either state?

I have done the research but unable to find anything concrete on where they stand. I will call the Texas Commission but right now they are closed for the Thanksgiving. I have my salespersons license in CA and NJ.

I have had my license in CA for over two years and just recently obtained my NJ license. I am interested in learning about any other states in which I would be able to get my brokers license as fast as possible, given the salespersons license.

I would then use the reciprocity for CA and NJ. Thanks for posting this! I am a commercial agent licensed in Ohio. I have a client wanting me to list his commercial property in WV. How can I list this property? I appreciate your help and insight. West Virginia is a Physical Location state, which means you you have to physically remain in Ohio while conducting any of this transaction.

My suggestion would be to find someone locally to partner with on this and draw up what I call a reverse referral agreement. I plan to invest in a property in Los Angeles, CA. I may also move there to. I would like to represent myself and wife as the buyer. Do I need to get a CA brokers license? Hi James. My name is Greg and I am with Rodeo Realty. What kind of property are you looking to invest in and in what areas of Los Angeles? New York is a physical location state, which means that if you are conducting business as a real estate agent or broker, you have to actually be in New York.

If I were you, I would consider finding someone local to represent you and just ask for a referral fee. I currently obtained a Georgia real estate license through reciprocity.

Still have my Illinois license. Do I need to maintain my Illinois license active in order to my Georgia license to be active? Currently live in Georgia and thinking to cancel my Illinois license because off the cost to maintain the license. I am a licensed broker in Ontario, Canada. Do the same rules apply to out-of-country agents as well — specifically Canada? If not, what are the rules? Thanks so much for the question. Unfortunately, I am not the right person to ask. The only start that I know has specifically spelled out rules regarding Canadian reciprocity and portability is Utah, and that is pretty restrictive.

Hope that gets you started in the right direction! I have a California brokers license but recently moved to Washington State. I would like to retain my California license but also obtain a Washington State license. Does the reciprocity rules allow me to keep my old license? Hi, If a real estate agent licensed in CA wants to make an offer on an Idaho property for a CA client is that allowed with license portability?

If so what form would be used to write an offer since purchase contracts differ? Thank you! Yes, it appears that Idaho offers portability, which means you could represent a California buyer in the purchase of property there. Hello Chris! I have enjoyed reading the comments and replies and now I have a question of my own.

They purchased an investment property here to remodel and sell no contracts signed at this point and said that they would have me list it. As they are not really familiar with the area, my role so far has been to get quotes from contractors and service providers to assist them with their project.

Going to talk to my broker but would appreciate your input. Thank you!! If I were you, I would take the tact of initiating the conversation now rather than after the fact. I am having trouble finding legal clarification online and my Broker is looking into it as well but seems to understand that I would still need to be licensed in MD.

You are not permitted to practice while physically in the state of Maryland. Hey there! If you plan on moving to Florida in just a few months, I would suggest working on getting your Florida real estate license you can do just about all of it remotely! That way, when you move, you can hit the ground running! Would it be best to find a brokerage in GA to work under there? Are there brokerages out there that might cover both states; eXp?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Great questions. Honestly, all of these are good options and will work for what you want to do. Having a single broker may save you big money and headaches in the long run. I would look for the simplest route possible.

I am a licensed SC Realtor. I have a friend that wants me to list her house in Georgia. I know that Georgia has a reciprocity agreement with SC. I applied for a Georgia license and got it. They placed it as inactive until my SC broker finishes registering as a firm in Georgia and then I would be affiliated with him.

However, that is taking longer than necessary. Should I just use the cooperative portability agreement and find an already licensed GA real estate licensee to co-list it with me?

I just learned about the cooperative portability idea. I would have probably gone that route from the start. Will the inactive license I have in GA matter if I use the cooperative portability agreement?

I need to list it ASAP and need to know the quickest way possible. Good questions. If speed is the most important thing for you, utilizing the portability agreement is going to be your best bet. I am just guessing here, but is your current firm an independent shop? If that is the case, I would suggest looking for another independent shop in Georgia to co-list with. They are typically a little more flexible in terms of the co-listing agreement and split.

Thank you so much for this information about license portability. I was wondering if you had the code section for the Wisconsin law that allows out-of-state brokers to conduct business in Wisconsin from their home state as long as they physically stay in their home state.

It would be helpful in negotiating a commission in a deal I am starting in Wisconsin. If so, I am not sure such a thing exists, but I could investigate. I have a license in California and am planning on moving to AZ. I wanted a license to represent myself when I make a purchase in AZ. As best I know, the list is up to date, but you should definitely check with the Arizona Real Estate Commission to make sure!

I have received conflicting information from Texas regarding reciprocity of real estate license. Currently, I am licensed in Florida, Military Spouse. I reached out to Texas to investigate if it was a state that recognized reciprocity.

The person whom I spoke to said that yes, Texas had just began accepting reciprocity but it was so new, they had no forms and I was the first to ask. And, since the courses in Texas or so much more extensive none of the other 49 states qualified for reciprocity, somewhat of a Misnomer to me. Recently I came across the portability clause and as a Realtor in Florida, moving to Texas, am I able to conduct the Buyer side of my transaction and if so, is that written on a Florida Contract or Texas Contract?

Thanks in advance for your reply, greatly appreciate it!! Thanks for the question! Remember, commissions are paid through brokerages, not direct to agents, so there needs to be a place that the Texas closing company or whoever is conducting the closing can send the check.

What do I have to do to list this on MLS? Thanks, Lori. It used to be that you could pay a guest listing fee and as long as the Realtor who is representing the buyer is licensed in California, you would be in good shape. But, definitely check with the local board first! I am currently licensed in Pennsylvania and am planning on buying a home in Delaware and possibly North Carolina. I see that my license is reciprocal in both states.

What exactly does that mean and what do I have to do if I move? Congrats on the upcoming moves! Chris: Your soonest response would be greatly appreciated as my husband and I will be touring homes tomorrow. Is my husband entitled to get shared commission from the CT listing agent if we buy the home on the basis of referral or some other arrangement?

What are the steps involved and at what point do we tell the CT listing agent that my husband has NY license? Can the CT listing agent refuse to go forward on the transaction with an out of state licensed realtor?

Thanks so much for the valuable information, Chris. Your points are clear and make perfect sense. Thanks again for your prompt, courteous and elaborate response Stay safe and healthy! Would I still have to take GA tests? What is the process? You will definitely have to take the tests. I am a real estate broker in California. What is the easiest way to also obtain a principal brokers license in Oregon and a brokers license in Nevada?

You can hold multiple licenses and pay only 16K in commissions for the year. I have 5 licenses. Obtaining broker status is a little trickier than agent status using reciprocity rules. The best course of action is going to be to reach out to the licensing and regulatory affairs commissions for each state and address those questions with them. I recently met a Louisiana agent who wanted to work with me under my brokerage here is Louisiana. Is that possible? But, each state is a little different on that, so I would check with the LA board of licensing and regulatory affairs to make sure before you get too deep into the planning process.

Hello Chris, My daughter is relocating to New York. You stated in an earlier post that I can only conduct professionally related activities from my home state. If I have friends or family from out of state or just out of my service area, inevitably real estate will come up in conversation, and I usually end up getting questions.

Any advice or suggestions you get from me is friendly, not professional. You should consult with your local agent before making any real estate decisions. I know is sounds a little formal, but it just clears the air a little bit.

I have been a licensed real estate broker in Colorado for 30 years. I am moving to Connecticut. I understand that there is reciprocity with a reciprocity agreement. Are you moving out of state? What does that mean for your real estate license? Will your real estate license transfer to your new state? How do I get my real estate license? How to transfer a real estate license to another state? Can you get a real estate license in a state you don't live in?

Generally speaking, real estate is a state-specific industry. Real estate laws vary by state. And each state has their own licensing requirements. Before you can establish yourself in a new state, you need to understand the laws of the state and get your real estate license for that new home state.

So becoming a real estate broker in another state is straight forward. License reciprocity means that, if you already hold an active real estate license in one US state, you can apply for a real estate license in your new state without taking all the state-required pre-licensing real estate courses. Doing exactly that might be easier than you thought. That means some out-of-state agents can get an equivalent-type license in Florida, and Florida agents can get a license to sell in those states with minimal extra work.

So you can learn the ins and outs of Florida real estate license reciprocity — including the states it includes — read on. Specifically, this mutual recognition agreement means that a real estate license granted in one state certifies that individual to handle real estate transactions in the state with the reciprocity agreement. There might be some caveats there, though.
