The only way to get your real estate license in referral status is by joining a New Jersey real estate referral brokerage, like General Referral. State regulations require that all NJ real estate agents licensed in referral status hold their licenses with a licensed real estate referral company.
As a NJ referral agent, the state limits you to earning commission from referrals, but you also get the benefit of not having continuing education requirements. It’s a great solution for retiring agents, agents who work in another career full-time or new agents who aren’t quite ready to jump in with two feet.
