Yes — an active New Jersey real estate salesperson license is the one credential you need. If you don't have one yet, the required pre-license coursework can often be completed in a matter of weeks, or spread out to fit a busy schedule. We're happy to point you toward the steps.

As a referral associate, you avoid the MLS dues, board fees, and day-to-day obligations that come with active practice. Your recurring cost is a $125 annual membership fee. When you first join, there are also one-time state and license-transfer fees — how much depends on whether your license is currently active, already in referral status, expired, or brand new — so the total to get started typically runs from about $150 to $425. We'll walk you through the exact figure for your situation, and you can confirm current state fees with the New Jersey Real Estate Commission.

Whichever way is easiest for you: a phone call to 973-736-1600, an email, or our quick online referral form. Send us their name, phone, and email, plus a few details about what they're looking for and where. Your referral can be anywhere — in New Jersey, another state, or overseas.

You earn a referral fee — a share of the commission — when a referral you send closes. The fee scales with the sale price, so a larger transaction means a larger fee. Your referral does not need to be in New Jersey, and it does not need to fall within any particular MLS: we place referrals throughout all 50 states and internationally through our network. Exact amounts depend on the specific transaction and the terms of your associate agreement. The estimator on our What You Earn page shows how the math works.

Your referral fee is processed after the transaction closes. There's no invoicing or chasing on your end — we handle it.

No. Refer as often as opportunities come up — whether that's a few times a year or more. There's no quota and no minimum.

They're contacted promptly by an experienced associate and represented with the full care and resources of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Jordan Baris Realty — from first conversation through closing. Your introduction reflects well on you.

Definitely. Many associates treat Jordan Baris Referrals as a flexible way to stay in the business, then move into active selling when the timing is right. You'd already have a home with us.
