Just passed? Start by referring while you learn the business.
Agents who moved
New town, old clients. Send them to an AXEN agent back home.
Anyone with a network
If people ask you about homes, every ask can be a paycheck.
HOW A REFERRAL PAYS YOU
Five steps. You do one of them.
You send the client. The AXEN agent does the work. The fee comes to the brokerage first — that’s the law — and then AXEN pays you.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
Referral brokerage, answered.
What is a referral-only real estate brokerage?
It is a brokerage that holds your license so you can send clients to other agents and get paid a referral fee. You don't list or sell homes yourself. AXEN Realty Partners is AXEN's referral brokerage. You may also hear this called a referral company or a license-parking company.
Can I keep my real estate license active without paying NAR dues?
Yes. AXEN Realty Partners is a non-NAR brokerage. You hang your license with Partners, and you do not have to join the National Association of REALTORS®. No REALTOR® association dues required.
Who is AXEN Realty Partners for?
Part-time agents, agents between careers, retirees, new licensees, agents who moved, and anyone who wants to keep their license and get paid when they send a client to an agent.
How do referral fees get paid?
By law, a referral fee is paid to your broker, never to you personally. So the fee comes to AXEN first. AXEN pays you after compliance clears.
How much does AXEN keep on a referral?
10% of the referral fee, up to $500 on Pro or $1,000 on Elite, plus a $50 admin fee that goes to the coordinator on the file. Example: on a $4,000 referral fee, AXEN keeps $400 + $50 and you get $3,550. What AXEN keeps counts toward your yearly cap.
What does AXEN Realty Partners cost?
You pick the same plan as any AXEN agent: Pro or Elite. The platform fee is $50 a month, or $500 a year, or $600 taken from your first closing. On a referral, AXEN's fee is 10% (max $500 on Pro, $1,000 on Elite) plus a $50 admin fee.
Do I need to join the MLS?
No. Partners is built for referrals, not for listing. Most MLSs require REALTOR® membership, so if you want to list and sell full time with MLS access, that's AXEN Realty, our NAR side.
Can I go back to selling full time?
Yes. Move your license to AXEN Realty, the NAR side. Your seat and your revenue share line stay with you. We handle the transfer paperwork with your state.
How do I find an agent to send my client to?
Use the AXEN Referral Map in your portal. It helps you find an AXEN agent anywhere to send your client to.
Do Partners agents get revenue share?
Yes. You keep your own seat in AXEN revenue share, five levels deep, with no quota. If you recruit agents, you earn on them. That is how it is built, not a promise of any amount.
