FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is "Parking" my real estate license exactly ?

   Parking your California real estate license means affiliating your license with our virtual real estate brokerage in California without being required to comply with all CAR (California Association of Realtors) or local board membership rules.

​

• What are the advantages of Parking my License ?

By parking your license with our license parking brokerage company, you can continue to use your California real estate broker license as a source of income without paying the high cost of recurring Board, Association, or MLS fees.
