2️⃣ TRANSFER YOUR LICENSE TO REAL

(click here skip to next section)

Your Onboarding Coordinator and your Broker-In-Charge, Michele Smith, will affiliate your license with Real (or the Referral Only office, as needed.) You will then receive an email from NCREC confirming that you are affiliated under Real Broker, LLC. 

Please DO NOT affiliate your license with Real on behalf of the Broker-In-Charge. 

NOTE: If you are a Provisional Broker and are affiliated, advise your current broker to release you from NCREC. Provisional Brokers are not able to be affiliated with two BICs at two different addresses.

 

After completing the above steps:

Your Designated Broker, Michele Smith, and Onboarding Coordinator will confirm the transfer with the North Carolina Department of Licensing.

It may take up to 30 days for the NCREC website to reflect these changes, so you need to make sure that your email is correct and to keep the email with the License Activation and Broker Affiliation Form Submission from NCREC as a record of affiliation for transferring your Board of Association and MLS.

Once your license is affiliated with Real and your Join Application is approved you'll receive the Welcome, Next Steps email. 

New to Real? Look out for your welcome email once your license transfer is complete. This will include your Post-Onboarding Instructions, details on our Onboarding class, link to our Marketing Center and more!

Already a Real agent? Please contact the Onboarding Team and they will add your license to your existing reZEN account.
