CrossView Referral Realty is a specialized branch of your real estate business designed for referral-focused agents rather than transaction-heavy producers. It’s built for professionals who want to stay connected to real estate without the operational burden of running a full sales practice.

What exactly is a referral brokerage, and why might it be the perfect fit for your real estate license?

A referral brokerage allows licensed real estate professionals to earn commission income by referring clients to active agents, without having to pay board dues or stay involved in day-to-day sales.

If you’re a licensed real estate professional exploring a referral‑only model (keeping your license active, earning from introductions rather than full service), you may have come across Watson Referral Realty (WRRI). They’ve built a solid platform for referral associates. At CrossView Referral Realty, we respect what they do—and want to help you compare your options so you pick the brokerage that aligns best with your goals.

Have you ever wondered whether there's a smarter, lower-maintenance way to make your Florida real estate license work for you—even if you're not actively selling?

If you’re looking for a referral brokerage that treats your license like an asset (not a burden), CrossView Referral Realty is designed for exactly that.

If you’re exploring referral‑only brokerages to keep your license active and earn income by making connections instead of closings, you’ve probably come across Real Estate Referrals. It’s a solid pick. At CrossView Referral Realty, we believe in comparing options so you find the fit that best aligns with your vision and business model. Let’s take a closer look.

Want to increase the number of quality referrals you send and become the first person other agents turn to?
You already have a powerful position: being a licensed referral agent means you don’t have to carry listings or show homes — you focus on the network, the connections, and the match‑making. That means smart work, not hard work.

Here’s how you make it happen.

If you’re looking for a referral-only brokerage, Florida Referral Group (FRG) is likely on your radar—and for good reason. They’ve built a clear, agent-friendly platform for professionals who want to keep their license active without practicing full-time. At CrossView Referral Realty, we deeply respect what FRG offers and think it’s worth comparing your options so you can find the best fit for your goals.

Here’s what you should know if you’re choosing between FRG and CrossView as your referral brokerage.

Want to be the person others trust when it's time to find the right agent?
You don't need to be in full-time production to become the go-to resource in your market. As a referral agent, you have a unique advantage: you can focus purely on relationships and connections, not transactions. When you learn how to position yourself well, clients and fellow agents will come to you first.

Whether you've stepped away from active sales or you're simply looking for a more flexible model, becoming a trusted referral agent can turn your network into ongoing income.

What a Referral Agent Is

When you act as a referral agent, your primary role is to connect a buyer or seller with an active agent who will handle the transaction. You engage your network, identify prospects, refer them, and await a commission when the deal closes.

If you’re a licensed agent exploring referral‑only models—where you keep your license active and earn income from connecting clients instead of handling full transactions—you’ve probably seen Park Place Realty Network (PPRN) on your radar. At CrossView Referral Realty, we believe comparing your options is smart. Here’s a breakdown of how PPRN works, what it does well, and where CrossView offers a different path.

How much do referral agents earn in Florida, and what should you expect when negotiating a referral fee?

Short answer: Most referral fees in Florida fall between 25% and 30% of the gross commission, with 25% becoming the more common baseline. But that’s just the starting point — everything is negotiable, and knowing how to protect your income (and stay compliant) matters more than ever.

Should I hang my license with a referral-only brokerage?

If you're no longer actively selling real estate but want to keep your license working for you, a referral brokerage might be the perfect fit. But not all Florida referral brokerages are created equal.

What makes CrossView Referral Realty different from other Florida referral brokerages?
Unlike most referral brokerages that charge recurring fees or lock you into contracts, CrossView gives you a cost-effective, low-pressure way to keep your license active—and profitable.

If you move out of Florida, can you still keep your Florida real estate license active through a referral brokerage?

Yes — as long as you meet the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) requirements, you can keep your Florida license active from anywhere in the U.S. (and in many cases, even if you’re living internationally).

As long as you hold an active Florida real estate license — even if you’re not selling full-time — you’re required by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to complete your continuing education on schedule.

If you have a Florida real estate license but don’t want the pressure of day-to-day sales, how do you start earning referral income instead?

Joining CrossView Referral Realty is simple — and it’s the easiest way to keep your license active, avoid annual fees, and start earning from referrals right away.

When you refer a client to another licensed real estate agent, you and that agent sign a referral agreement. This agreement specifies the percentage of the commission you’ll receive once the transaction closes.

In Florida — and across most of the U.S. — the standard referral fee is 25% of the commission earned by the receiving agent. In some cases, it could be more or less, depending on the arrangement

Even though your license is issued in Florida, your earning potential doesn’t have to stop at the state line. A referral agreement between licensed agents works across the country — meaning if your neighbor sells their Florida home and moves to Colorado, you can still earn a referral fee for connecting them with a great local agent there.

You can still earn steady, meaningful income by sending referrals — and with the right approach, those connections can add up to true passive income for agents.

What happens when you leave real estate sales but still want to earn from your license?

You don't have to hang up your license—and your earning power—just because you've stepped away from daily transactions. Many retired or career-shifting agents are surprised to learn that passive income is still very much possible. In fact, it can be easier than ever.
