Can I join CrossView Referral Realty if my license is still active with another brokerage?

Yes, and it’s a simple process.

Have you ever wondered why some real estate brokerages create separate referral companies? It might seem like an extra step, but there's a smart and strategic reason behind it.

A referral company exists to support licensed agents who no longer actively sell real estate but still want to earn income from their hard-earned relationships. Let’s explore why a traditional brokerage would build this kind of model, using CrossView Realty and its referral arm, CrossView Referral Realty, as a clear example.

Here’s how you make it happen.

Want to be the person others trust when it's time to find the right agent?

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.

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.

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).

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.
