If you’re a licensed agent exploring referral‑only models—where you keep your license active and earn income from connecting clients instead of handling full transactions—you’ve probably seen Park Place Realty Network (PPRN) on your radar. At CrossView Referral Realty, we believe comparing your options is smart. Here’s a breakdown of how PPRN works, what it does well, and where CrossView offers a different path.

How much do referral agents earn in Florida, and what should you expect when negotiating a referral fee?

Short answer: Most referral fees in Florida fall between 25% and 30% of the gross commission, with 25% becoming the more common baseline. But that’s just the starting point — everything is negotiable, and knowing how to protect your income (and stay compliant) matters more than ever.

Should I hang my license with a referral-only brokerage?

If you're no longer actively selling real estate but want to keep your license working for you, a referral brokerage might be the perfect fit. But not all Florida referral brokerages are created equal.

What makes CrossView Referral Realty different from other Florida referral brokerages?
Unlike most referral brokerages that charge recurring fees or lock you into contracts, CrossView gives you a cost-effective, low-pressure way to keep your license active—and profitable.

If you move out of Florida, can you still keep your Florida real estate license active through a referral brokerage?

Yes — as long as you meet the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) requirements, you can keep your Florida license active from anywhere in the U.S. (and in many cases, even if you’re living internationally).

As long as you hold an active Florida real estate license — even if you’re not selling full-time — you’re required by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to complete your continuing education on schedule.

If you have a Florida real estate license but don’t want the pressure of day-to-day sales, how do you start earning referral income instead?

Joining CrossView Referral Realty is simple — and it’s the easiest way to keep your license active, avoid annual fees, and start earning from referrals right away.

When you refer a client to another licensed real estate agent, you and that agent sign a referral agreement. This agreement specifies the percentage of the commission you’ll receive once the transaction closes.

In Florida — and across most of the U.S. — the standard referral fee is 25% of the commission earned by the receiving agent. In some cases, it could be more or less, depending on the arrangement

Even though your license is issued in Florida, your earning potential doesn’t have to stop at the state line. A referral agreement between licensed agents works across the country — meaning if your neighbor sells their Florida home and moves to Colorado, you can still earn a referral fee for connecting them with a great local agent there.

You can still earn steady, meaningful income by sending referrals — and with the right approach, those connections can add up to true passive income for agents.

What happens when you leave real estate sales but still want to earn from your license?

You don't have to hang up your license—and your earning power—just because you've stepped away from daily transactions. Many retired or career-shifting agents are surprised to learn that passive income is still very much possible. In fact, it can be easier than ever.

Can you really keep earning from real estate after stepping away from daily showings, contracts, and closings?

Yes, you can. With a referral license, you can continue earning income by simply connecting clients to active agents—without having to manage the deal yourself. If you've left the hustle of traditional sales, this is a smart, low-effort way to keep your license working for you.

Can you really earn passive income from real estate without working full-time?

Yes—and a referral-only brokerage in Florida makes that possible. If you’re a licensed agent who no longer wants the demands of daily showings, open houses, and transactions, there’s a low-pressure way to keep your license active and still earn money: send referrals.
