How to Become a Referral-Only Real Estate Agent in Utah

A practical guide to moving from active real estate sales to a referral-focused brokerage in Utah.

What a referral-only agent does

Referral-focused agents connect potential buyers or sellers with appropriately licensed professionals who handle transactions. Referral compensation must follow applicable law and brokerage agreements.

Choose a supervising brokerage

Review fees, policies, paperwork, and how the brokerage handles referrals. ARN offers a digital joining process for eligible Utah licensees.

Complete the affiliation process

Fill out brokerage documents and initiate the change in Utah’s licensing system. Do not assume your transfer is complete until the state and brokerages confirm it.

Submit referrals through ARN

After approval, ARN agents can use the referral form or agent portal to submit and track referrals.

General information only; confirm licensing and education requirements with the Utah Division of Real Estate.
