How to transfer your Nevada real estate license to a new brokerage
In Nevada your old broker files Form 505 first. Then you file Form 504 with $20 within 30 days of leaving, or you go inactive.
Your old broker's part: files Form 505 with your license within 10 days. Process checked against the Nevada Real Estate Division's own forms and portal on September 19, 2026. Boards change forms, so confirm there before you file.
How the Nevada transfer works
-
Tell your current broker you are leaving. They file Form 505 and send your original license. NRED must receive it within 10 calendar days of your last day. A postmark does not count.
-
Once NRED has the 505, file Form 504. Tick Section 1, Change of Broker/Employer/Company. The fee is $20.
-
Enter your new brokerage's Nevada license number. Get it from your new broker.
-
Send the 504 within 30 days. After 30 days you are inactive and need Form 544 to reinstate.
Where Nevada transfers get stuck
You cannot jump the queue
Nothing can be filed under the new broker until NRED has your old broker's Form 505.
What to sort out before you switch
The state filing is the easy part. These are the things that cost agents money when they skip them.
Read your contract with your broker
Your independent contractor agreement sets your notice period, any fees you owe on the way out, and how deals that close after you leave get paid.
Listings stay with the brokerage
A listing agreement is a contract between the seller and the brokerage, not you. You can only take a listing with your old broker's written release and your seller's agreement.
Pending deals
Deals under contract usually close with your old brokerage, and your agreement decides how you are paid on them. Get it in writing before your last day.
MLS and association
Move your MLS and REALTOR® association membership to your new office so your access does not lapse.
Update every ad the same day
Signs, your website, social media and business cards must show your new brokerage once you move. State ad rules require the brokerage name.
CE and E&O
Several states will not complete a transfer while your continuing education is overdue or your errors and omissions cover has lapsed. Check both first.
What changes if you move to AXEN
No commission split. You keep 100% and pay a flat fee per closing instead.
AXEN charges a flat fee per closing ($500 on the Pro plan; less on smaller deals) that caps at $6,000 a year, or $12,000 on the Elite plan, plus a $295 per-file admin fee and a $50 a month platform fee. There is no commission split.
Revenue share and equity depend on plan and participation. Earnings examples are illustrations, not guarantees; your income depends on your own sales.
