Find quick answers to the most common questions about license parking with MMH Solutions.
1. What is real estate license parking?
Real estate license parking means placing your license with a referral‑only, non‑trading brokerage that is licensed with RECA only. We are not members of any real estate board, AREA or CREA, which means you don’t pay board dues, AREA fees, CREA fees or MLS® fees while your license is parked. Your license stays fully active with RECA, you avoid re‑education and you remain eligible to earn referral income. You can return to a trading brokerage anytime.
2. Who is license parking for?
It’s ideal for REALTORS® who want to step back from active trading, whether for family time, maternity leave, career changes, retirement, or simply to avoid the cost and pressure of full‑time real estate while still keeping their license active.
3. Can I still earn referral income while my license is parked?
Yes. You can earn referral fees by connecting clients with active agents. Many REALTORS® park their license specifically to earn referral income without the demands of day‑to‑day trading.
Most transfers are completed within 1–3 business days, depending on RECA processing times.
No. Parking your license does not require additional courses or re‑education. You simply transfer your license to MMH Solutions.
6. What are the fees?
We offer two simple options; a monthly fee or a yearly fee.
Most agents choose whichever option fits their situation best. If you’d like the exact amounts, just contact us. We’ll give you the numbers right away with no pressure and no surprises.
If you decide to return to active trading later, MMH Solutions does not charge a reactivation fee.
At that point, the only costs are the standard fees charged by:
RECA (license transfer fee)
Your new trading brokerage
Your real estate board, AREA, and CREA
These are normal industry fees and are not charged by us.
Most agents are pleasantly surprised by how low the parking cost is.
7. Can I reactivate my license later? Absolutely.
You can return to active trading at any time. The process is quick and straightforward.
8. Do you help with the transfer paperwork?
Yes. We guide you through the entire process and ensure everything is submitted correctly to RECA.
9. Is there a minimum commitment?
No. You can park your license for as long or as little as you need. There are no penalties, no contracts and no restrictions.
