Oregon license transfer

How to transfer your Oregon real estate license to a new brokerage

In Oregon only a managing principal broker can transfer a licensee in, so your new brokerage does it in eLicense and pays $10. You file nothing.

How the Oregon transfer works

The Oregon Real Estate Agency process, step by step.

  1. 1Tell your current principal broker you are leaving.

    Then send your license details to the new brokerage.

  2. 2Your new managing principal broker transfers you.

    They do it from their eLicense account and pay $10.

  3. 3Watch for the confirmation email.

    Your old principal broker gets one too.

03Watch out

Where Oregon transfers get stuck

You cannot pull yourself across

Only the new firm's managing principal broker can do it.

04Before you move

What to sort out before you switch

The state filing is the easy part. These are the things that cost agents money when they skip them.

Read your contract with your broker

Your independent contractor agreement sets your notice period, any fees you owe on the way out, and how deals that close after you leave get paid.

Listings stay with the brokerage

A listing agreement is a contract between the seller and the brokerage, not you. You can only take a listing with your old broker's written release and your seller's agreement.

Pending deals

Deals under contract usually close with your old brokerage, and your agreement decides how you are paid on them. Get it in writing before your last day.

MLS and association

Move your MLS and REALTOR® association membership to your new office so your access does not lapse.

Update every ad the same day

Signs, your website, social media and business cards must show your new brokerage once you move. State ad rules require the brokerage name.

CE and E&O

Several states will not complete a transfer while your continuing education is overdue or your errors and omissions cover has lapsed. Check both first.
