How can I find current information on my Georgia Real Estate License?

Yes, by all means. All you need do is indicate the a) company, b) name of agent, c) Referred company phone number.
Must I go through Referral Source LLC or can I contact the agent myself?
No. You must go through Referral Source LLC in order to be paid when the referred property closes to assure payment.
Will taxes be deducted from my referral fee?
No. You will get a 1099 at the end of the year for any referral fees paid you over $600.
How do you generate Referrals?
If you hear of someone interested in buying or selling a home you can ask them if they would like you to refer them to a real estate sales professional. After you explain that it will not cost them anything to refer it, all they need do is provide name, address, phone, authorizing signature and, if applicable, the name of the broker and agent they have in mind.
How do I place a referral?
All a referral member need do is fax or e-mail the Referral Source Worksheet and signed Agreement found in FORMS YOU MAY NEED at the side of the website. It has an immediate turnaround and after it is placed and the home has closed, the member agent receives a commission check.
What education is provided free if I become a member of the Referral Source LLC team?
Any course offered by MGARE (Middle Georgia Academy of Real Estate for those within commuting distance of MGARE or courses offered online (for a nominal fee) at http://www.mgare.org or by going to the button on the left of this site marked “Education” with a direct link to MGARE.
