An Understanding On How To Park Real Estate License

By Martha Edwards


Whenever you have to decided to go on vacations, attend school, and think of temporarily leaving the business for some reasons like maternity leaves and retirements, there is no need for you to surrender the real estate license. You wills have to register to brokerage, a non board member of real estate associations. This is called parking or sometimes referred to as shelving or warehousing. Even if you are parking, you still are registered to the council.

When doing this, there is no need for you to pay for any fees like high brokerage fees that are related to the board associations. Another advantage for park real estate license Ontario is you may still trade through referrals. And by parking, you can maintain your educational or work requirements and you can earn referral fees.

You will need to park your license in city Ontario for several reasons. Minimizing your fees is one important reason, like for example, if you and your spouse works at the same brokerage. Another important reason is when someone does not have any ideas yet about the business, he or she must need to adapt with the environment through an assistant or administrator position.

Other reasons for this is not being ready yet but you just have acquired your license. And also if you would like to move to another location and not sure if you will be coming back to that place. There is no time limit in parking your license as long as you are paying your fees and maintaining your requirements.

If situations happen like it lapsed in less than 2 years, still, it can be parked, but you need a reinstatement. But if more than two years, you need to start at the beginning, in registering and in taking the registration courses. So if your decision is not final for stopping in the business, park it as soon as possible.

If parked already, do not involve yourself into any transactions. Avoid selling houses to past clients, and even to your families and friends. You can do only referrals, which means that you have to entrust them to the sales representative and you will earn a referral fee. Always select the representative that you can trust for them.

The seller or buyer will not be the one to pay you for choosing a representative for them and to whom they are working with. Instead, the brokerage will be paying you for commissions on referrals. See to it that the seller or buyer has the knowledge that he or she is the purchaser of the brokerage and not yours. And be sure to have an agreement for referrals in case you have problems in the amounts.

Referral amounts can be discussed between the sales representatives and the broker. Usually, the amount ranges from 25 percent to 50 percent of the commission. There might be some people who might ask if they can do open houses, like working as an assistant to another brokerage.

The answer for this is a big NO. Since you are already registered to a certain brokerage, you cannot work with the other. This is a rule of brokers. Which means to say that you will only be given payment by one broker as the sales representative.
