Built for agents like you
Four ways agents put Firelight to work.
License parking
Keep your license active without overpaying to keep it active. PS. Firelight has no production quotas and no residency requirements. Work as much or as little as you like. Entirely your choice. Always.
Independent agents
Work directly with your own clients on most transactions. Keep control of the relationship and the commission.
Referral partners
Send and receive business from all 50 states and get paid for it, even on deals you never touch in Florida yourself.
All Firelight Agents
Start earning immediately at a 90/10 split, with E&O insurance included. Includes a free 1-on-1 training session on the specialty of your choice & personal agent website. Even a page for your pets :)
If you decide you want full MLS access and Board Membership down the road
you can switch to our sister agency Firelight Realty Group for free at any time. Firelight Realty (the page you're on now) — streamlined and low-fee. Then there's Firelight Realty Group — for those seeking or working with a larger book of business (Board and MLS fees then become due).

FAQs
Questions agents actually ask.
How much does it cost to join?
$49 for 1 year; $85 for 2. Not per month, not per calendar year — per full year. Zero other fees.
My license has been inactive for a while — is that a problem?
Not if your continuing education is current. Check the DBPR website: “Current, Inactive” is fine to activate. “Involuntary Inactive” means missing education or fees need to be resolved first. “Current, Active” is ready to go.
I've got a client I'm ready to refer, what do I do?
Use the referral form on the Agent Services page, available once you've signed up and logged in.
I've got questions about a potential deal or client, what do I do?
Reach out through our contact page or call (407) 801-9967.
Do you charge your agents a split?
Yes, it's 90/10 — you always keep 90% of every closed transaction, no hidden fees. Cross $3,500 in Firelight retained commissions and it upgrades to 95/5.
How soon and how do I get paid my commissions?
Within one business day after funds clear. Choose ACH (about 3 business days), paper check (about 5 business days), or wire transfer — no fees except possible wire costs.
What if I leave Firelight before a commission I earned is received?
You still get your full commission once the pending deal closes and the cooperating brokerage remits funds.
What about my MLS access?
MLS access ends when you join. You can optionally add My State MLS for about $50/month or $420/year, or refer MLS-required deals to a colleague for a referral commission.
How soon will my license be active with Firelight?
Typically within 2 hours. We do same-day license activation whenever feasible.
If I switch brokerages or cancel my membership, do I get a refund?
Refunds are available only within 72 hours of signup or renewal. No refunds after license activation, but your membership stays valid through the contract term.
How do I arrange payment for an earned commission from a closed transaction?
Log into Agent Services and use the “deals about to close” link to arrange payment.
How do I change or cancel my membership?
Sign into Agent Services and click “Change/Cancel Membership” at the top. Note: annual fees become non-refundable once your license activates.
Can I pay for two years at once?
A 2-year membership is $85, paid once.
What is / do I need Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance?
E&O insurance is included for every Firelight agent, protecting you against paperwork mistakes or missing information.
What does “referral license,” “referral only,” or “referral status” mean?
These describe internal brokerage restrictions, not a state licensing category. Firelight agents aren't restricted from working directly with clients — go referral-only if you prefer, or take on full transactions.
How much will I save by joining Firelight?
About $1,700 a year by cutting board dues, MLS fees, and NAR fees — plus no desk or monthly fees.
What if I'm happier with this arrangement than I thought?
Then you're doing it right.
Is Firelight Realty in any other states besides Florida?
Not yet — currently available only to Florida license holders. Expansion to other states is under consideration.
What about buying a house for myself — can I still earn a commission?
100% yes. Negotiate your own commission on a personal purchase, typically 2.5–3.0%, or apply it toward closing costs.
What about selling my own home?
Three options: sell FSBO, self-represent through My State MLS ($345 if it closes), or use Firelight's full-service representation at a 1.00% fee plus buyer-side compensation. This offer extends to immediate family members too.
