Frequently Asked Questions about Broker Realty Service

Q

What is Broker Realty Service?

A

Broker Realty Service is a licensed real estate brokerage in Ohio serving as the principal broker for Ohio licensees.

 

 

Q

How do I know if I should join Broker Realty Service?

A

If you do not sell real estate but want to maintain an active Ohio real estate license, you can join our company and when you know of someone who wants to sell or buy property anywhere in the United States, simply notify us with their information and we'll do the rest. We refer your buyer and seller leads to full-time real estate agents who will list or sell the property and pay our company a referral fee, which will be split with you.

    

 

Q

Do I have to join a local board or organization and pay dues?

A

No - the only cost to you is an annual $75.00 administrative fee.  Remember, since you are not a member of a local, state, or national Board of Realtors© or MLS, you can not refer to yourself as a Realtor©.  The $75.00 administrative fee will be waived the following year if you have one closed referral transaction.

 

 

Q

What if I decide to work with buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction?

A

Since agents with Broker Realty Service do not represent buyers and sellers, it would be necessary to transfer your license to a real estate company that actively works with buyers and sellers.
