01 / How it works
Three steps.
One of them is a phone call.
Join
Fill out a short form. We handle moving your license with the state. You don't chase paperwork.
Refer
Your neighbor is selling. Your cousin is moving to Tampa. Call us or send the referral slip. We find and vet the right agent, here or out of state.
Get paid
When it closes, you keep 80% of the referral fee. That's it.
02 / The math
What one referral can pay.
Say the agent you refer earns a $10,000 commission. A 25% referral fee is $2,500. You keep 80%.
| Agent's commission | $10,000 |
|---|---|
| Referral fee, 25% | $2,500 |
| Yours, 80% | $2,000 |
It's literally a phone call.
03 / Someone to call
There's a real person on the other end of the phone.
Send a referral and we pick up the phone. We research, vet and screen the right agent for that client, in South Jersey or anywhere else, so your referral actually closes.
We know the top agents in Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Mercer and the counties around them. For a move to Arizona or Florida, we do the homework there too. You don't get a portal. You get a person.

The questions agents actually ask.
All questions, including the Commission's official answers →
How do I keep my NJ real estate license without paying MLS fees?
Move your license to a referral-only office. In New Jersey a referral agent’s license is held by a broker like any other license, but you don’t list or show homes, so you don’t need the MLS, the Realtor board or E&O insurance. With us that costs $100 a year, and you keep 80% of every referral fee.
What does it mean to “hang” my license with SJRN?
It means your license is held by our referral-only brokerage instead of a full-service office. Your license stays active. You stop paying desk fees, MLS and board dues. When someone you know wants to buy or sell, you call us, we place them with a good agent, and you get paid when it closes.
What happens to my license if I leave my brokerage in NJ?
When your broker releases your license, it goes inactive until another New Jersey broker picks it up. The state doesn’t let you pay to park it in inactive status. You have two years from the expiration of your last license to reinstate it. The simplest way to keep it active without selling is to move it to a referral-only broker like us. We handle the paperwork with the state.
Do NJ referral agents have to do continuing education?
No. The NJ Real Estate Commission says referral agents are not required to complete continuing education. Instead, your broker reviews the referral agent restrictions with you when you’re licensed and at renewal, and certifies that to the Commission. If you later switch back to salesperson or broker, CE can be required at that point.

You worked hard for that license.
