After you sign the Independent Contractor Agreement:

Now that you have signed your ICA and paid the join fee, it's time to transfer your license to Real!

Existing Licensees

To transfer your existing license to Real, follow these steps:

• Effective 1/1/2025, you cannot transfer your license to Real until proof of E&O Insurance is received. TREC rules state all agents must purchase E&O coverage PRIOR to completing onboarding. Coverage MUST be the same or equivalent to the state policy which has a $1,000 deductible. You can purchase RISC E&O Coverage here.

• Your Onboarding Coordinator will send you the TREC Form 1: Transfer, Release and Change of Status Form, which will already have New Firm Information completed by your new broker, Tina Baker. Complete the Licensee Information section, Check the Appropriate Box and answer the Question Yes/No.
• Once completed, send it to your current broker to complete and sign the Releasing Firm Information.  
• Once you have a fully complete TREC Form 1, log into your Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Online Services account. Go to Quick Start Menu > Transfer License and submit the completed form. You will also pay the transfer fee at this time.

New Licensees

To apply for a new real estate license, follow these steps:

• Send your forms from the testing center to your onboarding coordinator, onboarding@therealbrokerage.com. They will coordinate with the TN broker, Tina Baker, for signature. 

• When you receive the forms back, log into your Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Online Services account to submit the signed forms and pay the appropriate fee to the state to obtain your license.

After completing the above steps:

Your Designated Broker, Tina Baker, and Onboarding Coordinator will confirm the transfer with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission.
