How do I sign up?

The easiest way to get the ball rolling is to get on a call with Jenn! Schedule time here, and you are on your way to your next adventure.

Who signs my Pocket Card?

Since the move to miPlus, transferring your license to Community Realty is easier than ever. Just log in to your miPlus account and follow the easy instructions to transfer brokerages. Simply enter our broker license number, 6505400593, and as soon as we add you to the roster we will both receive an email from LARA with the changed license and pocket card. 

Does my current broker need to sign my transfer form?

No. Your current broker does not have to sign your transfer form. The Association will call and let them know you have transferred out. 

Is there a fee to transfer brokerages?

Possibly. The Greater Lansing Association of Realtors charges $50.00 to transfer brokerages. The Greater Metro Association of REALTORS does not currently charge a transfer fee. 

What about my yard signs and other marketing materials?

We’ve got you covered! You can use our company signs as long as you need to when you join to Community Realty. We’ve got sign templates you can use to order your own when you are ready, and most sign companies will reface your existing signs as well which will save you money upfront. You are also welcome to use our flyer designs, door hanger designs, business card designs and of course you will have access to the logo as well as the Brand Color reference page.

What about my current transactions? Do I need to wait until I close all my current transactions to transfer?

Absolutely not! Don’t wait. Every day you wait is a day you are costing yourself money that you have earned! Your current broker will almost always allow you to close out your pending transactions under whatever your terms are with them. You simply need to ask what your current brokerage’s protocol is on closings after you leave the firm.

What about my current listings that are not under contract yet?

If you have listings that are not under contract yet, there are a couple of possible scenarios. Your current broker may release the listing to you and you will simply withdraw the listing, sign a new listing agreement with your seller under Community Realty and enter it into the MLS. You will also want to put a new sign in the yard.

Other scenarios include your current broker requiring you to complete the sale and closing under the terms of the existing listing agreement, or they may release but require a referral fee of some sort. If you run into either of these scenarios, please contact Jenn Worthington to talk about solutions that will help you successfully navigate these situations.

Is there office space available at Community Realty or can I work from my home?

Yes! Our offices are available to agents anytime. There is plenty of workspace, wifi, a printer/copier, and just about anything else you might need to have productive work space. There is a full kitchen as well and community lunches served Monday - Friday for way less than eating out! Come work at the office anytime!

What training is currently available at Community Realty?
