Most people have enough numbers to remember, so it’s no surprise if you don’t recall your real estate license ID. Real estate agents are issued a license reference number by the state when you complete the requirements for licensure. The state typically uses this number to uniquely identify licensees, track employment history and ensure licensees have met all state requirements.
As a Real Estate Referral Company, General Referral uses license numbers to hire real estate referral agents & keep track internally. Our 5-minute license transfer matches referral agents with their license number when signing up for one of our commission plans.
