Keep your license active.
Stop paying for what you are not using.
Not selling enough to justify $1,379 a year in REALTOR® dues, MLS fees and Supra charges? You have two choices: let your license go, or park it somewhere that still pays you. MORE Referrals is the second choice, and unlike every other referral company you also keep the data, the tools and the coaching our full-time REALTORS® use every day.
What a St. Louis license actually costs to keep
These are not our numbers. They are published by St. Louis REALTORS® and MARIS. If your license is mostly sitting idle, this is what you are paying for the privilege.
Recurring, every single year
- REALTOR® dues (NAR + Missouri + St. Louis)$644
- MARIS MLS subscriber fee ($120/quarter)$480
- Supra eKEY ($21.25/month)$255
- Every year, before you sell anything$1,379
First year adds roughly $405 more in application fees ($230 Missouri REALTORS®, $125 St. Louis REALTORS®, $50 MARIS), plus Supra setup. Source: St. Louis REALTORS® March 2026 New Member Enrollment Fees.
Recurring, every single year
- REALTOR® dues$0
- MLS fees$0
- Monthly fees, desk fees, tech fees$0
- Annual license holding fee$100
- Every year$100
And the $100 comes back to you. Refer one transaction in the same year that produces a referral fee of at least $100 to MORE Referrals, and your annual fee is refunded. We would rather have your referrals than your money.
Most referral companies hand you a filing cabinet. We hand you a business.
Every referral company will hold your license. That part is easy. The question that actually matters is: once your license is parked, where do the referrals come from? At MORE Referrals you keep your seat in the MORE Lobby, the same private agent platform our full-time REALTORS® log into, so you have real things to send people, and a real way to get credit for them.
Your own agent ID
Every consumer site we run tags leads to the agent who sent the visitor. Share a link, and the lead comes back with your ID on it. That is how a referral starts without you ever picking up the phone.
Dozens of consumer websites
Home search, sold prices, market updates, open houses, coming soon, villas, condos, luxury, investor and new construction sites. All built by us, all shareable under your ID. Post them, email them, text them.
Done-for-you social content
A social post library and market graphics you can publish in seconds. You do not have to be a content creator. You just have to be the person your friends already ask about real estate.
Real St. Louis market data
Live charts and market reports by county, city, ZIP and school district. Nothing makes you look more like the person to ask than sending someone the actual numbers for their street.
MORE Bots & AI assistants
Our in-house AI assistants answer contract, compliance and market questions in plain English, trained on how we actually do business here. Ask a question at 10pm and get a real answer.
CORE Coaching & office meetings
You are invited to our weekly CORE Coaching sessions and monthly online office meetings. Stay current, stay connected, and keep your instincts sharp for the day you decide to come back full time.
Training library on demand
Recorded training, market briefings and how-to videos on the Lobby, available whenever you want them. No schedule to keep.
A real broker who answers
Dennis Norman and John Williams are both past Presidents and REALTORS® of the Year of the St. Louis Association of REALTORS®. You are not filing paperwork with a call center.
A place to come back to
If business picks up and you want to sell again, you already know our people, our systems and our tools. Moving from MORE Referrals to MORE, REALTORS® is a conversation, not a start-over.
You give up the MLS. You do not give up the data.
This is the objection every referral company runs into, and it is the one none of them has an answer for. We do.
Leaving MARIS costs you the subscriber login and the Supra key. What you keep is the thing that actually makes you useful to the person asking you a question: the listing data, all of it.
MORE, REALTORS® operates Virtual Office Websites, known as VOWs, and as a MORE Referrals agent you have access to every one of them.
A VOW exists because of the 2008 Department of Justice antitrust settlement with the National Association of REALTORS®. Before it, brokers could withhold their listings from competitors who served clients online. The settlement ended that, requiring NAR to adopt a policy guaranteeing “that Internet-based brokerage companies will not be treated differently than traditional brokers.” The VOW policy that came out of it holds an MLS to a parity standard: it may restrict what a broker delivers through a VOW only to the extent it restricts that same broker through every other channel. In plain English, what a brokerage can show you online is measured against what it can show you sitting across the desk.
MARIS permits sold, expired, withdrawn and pending data on a VOW. That is why our sold-price sites exist, and why the public IDX sites everyone else links to cannot come close. You get the whole picture, not the shop window:
A generous split, and a better one when you send it to us
You are paid the same day the referral fee comes in. No draws, no holdbacks, no month-end check run, no fee schedule buried in an addendum.
Standard referral
You name the agent or the company. We paper it, track it and collect it. You keep 70% of the referral fee, paid the day it lands.
Placed with MORE, REALTORS®
Hand it to us and let our broker assign the right agent for that price point, that area, that situation. You keep 80%, and you get our people working it.
What that looks like on one deal
A neighbor asks you to help sell a $350,000 house. You are not licensed to list it, but you can refer it. On a 2.5% listing side, a standard 25% referral fee is $2,187.50.
At 70%, you are paid $1,531.25. At 80% through MORE, REALTORS®, you are paid $1,750.00. One conversation, one form, and your $100 annual fee is refunded on top of it.

Exactly what you can and cannot do

- Refer buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and builders
- Refer anywhere: any city, any state, any price point

- Share our consumer websites, market reports and listings on social media, by email or by text
- Attend CORE Coaching, office meetings and training
- Move back to MORE, REALTORS® whenever you are ready
You cannot
- List a property, show a property, or write or negotiate a contract
- Represent a buyer, a seller, a landlord or a tenant
- Call yourself a REALTOR® or hold yourself out as an active agent
- Log into MARIS itself, or carry a Supra key, though you keep the listing data through our VOWs
- Be paid by anyone other than MORE Referrals
- Make a referral outside our referral agreement form
Four steps, and most people finish in a day
Tell us you are in
Fill out the form below. We need your name, your Missouri license number and how to reach you. That is it.
Sign the agreement
We send you the MORE Referrals Independent Contractor Agreement to sign electronically. It is four pages and it is written in English.
Transfer your license
We file your license transfer with the Missouri Real Estate Commission and walk you through resigning your board membership so the dues stop.
Get your logins
We set up your MORE Lobby account and your agent ID, and show you what to share. Then you are earning.
The things people actually ask
Do I have to quit the REALTOR® association?
Yes. Under association policy, a licensee affiliated with a referral-only brokerage is not a REALTOR® member, and that is the whole point, because it is what stops the dues. MORE Referrals, Inc. is not a member of NAR, Missouri REALTORS® or any local board. We will walk you through the resignation so your dues actually stop instead of quietly renewing.
What happens to my license?
It stays active, in your name, with the Missouri Real Estate Commission, held by MORE Referrals, Inc. instead of your current brokerage. You keep renewing it and keep doing your continuing education, the same as always. Nothing about your license lapses, and nothing has to be re-earned later.
Is the $100 really the whole cost?
Yes. One hundred dollars a year, due on the anniversary of the day you sign, paid by ACH or card. There is no monthly fee, no desk fee, no technology fee, no transaction fee and no E&O charge per referral. And if you refer one transaction in the same year that produces a referral fee of at least $100 to MORE Referrals, we refund the $100.
How much do I actually get paid?
70% of the referral fee on a standard referral, or 80% if you place it with MORE, REALTORS® and let the broker assign the agent. You are paid the same day the money reaches us. Our system picks the closing up automatically and generates your payout, so nothing sits in a queue waiting for someone to get to it.
Can I refer outside of Missouri?
Yes. Referrals are not limited to Missouri or to St. Louis. If your cousin is buying in Denver, that is a referral. We handle the paperwork with the receiving broker.
Can I refer my own purchase or sale?
Talk to us before you do. Self-referrals are common in this business, but they have to be disclosed and papered correctly, and the receiving broker has to agree to it up front. Call first and we will tell you exactly how to set it up.
Do I really get into the MORE Lobby?
Yes. You get a Lobby account and an agent ID, the same as our full-time agents, with access to the consumer websites, our VOW search, market data, social content, training library, AI assistants and the coaching calendar. What you do not get is an MLS login or a Supra key. Those require MARIS membership, which is the fee you are leaving behind.
Without an MLS login, how do I look up a sold price?
On our VOW sites, the same way you always did. A Virtual Office Website is the channel the 2008 DOJ settlement with NAR opened up, and under the VOW policy an MLS can only restrict what a broker delivers through it to the same degree it restricts that broker everywhere else. MARIS permits sold, expired, withdrawn and pending data there, so you can pull closed prices and dates, off-market history, days on market and price changes. The public IDX sites are not allowed to show any of that.
What if I want to sell again later?
Then you come back. You rejoin the association and MARIS, transfer to MORE, REALTORS®, and you are selling again. You will already know our systems, our tools and our people, because you never actually left.
I am already at another referral company. Can I switch?
Yes, and it is the same process. Check your current agreement for any notice period or pending-referral language, then fill out the form below. We will take it from there.
Ready to go, or still deciding?
Pick whichever one is true. Either way a real person reads this, and either way you hear back.
