Broker of record · Entity formation · Ongoing oversight
License Link helps companies establish and operate licensed real estate brokerages across states. We coordinate entity formation, supervising broker placement, written procedures, and ongoing oversight. Engage us for one part of an expansion or for the full licensed structure behind your operation.
Expanding a brokerage means aligning the company's entity, brokerage license, supervising broker, and operations with the destination state's requirements. License Link scopes the activities and states involved, coordinates the licensing work, and helps maintain the resulting structure after launch. The required steps vary by company and jurisdiction.
For a new market, our work may include corporate and brokerage formation, broker placement, written supervision procedures, and board or MLS membership where the operating model calls for it. We define the work during scoping.
A useful plan starts with what your company actually does in each state.
What we do
Yes. Some companies engage us for entity formation or broker placement in a few states; others need a coordinated licensing and oversight program across a larger footprint. We scope the services to the company's existing structure, target states, and licensed activities.
License Link coordinates corporate and brokerage formation for companies entering new states. We identify the entities and registrations needed for the agreed scope, manage applicable filings, and track ongoing maintenance. The structure depends on the company and the states in which it will operate.
License Link places a supervising broker within a licensed brokerage structure and supports the oversight that role requires. We also offer standby broker and Broker Assurance services for planned transitions. Designations, duties, and activation requirements depend on the state and engagement.

License Link helps determine what belongs in the engagement and coordinates setup and maintenance where needed. Access depends on the market, the brokerage's activities, and the rules of the relevant organization.
For companies that need operational support as well as a licensed structure, License Link can coordinate listings and closings within the brokerage arrangement it maintains. We scope transaction work separately around the client’s markets, volume, personnel, and supervisory responsibilities.
Who we serve
License Link works with companies whose operations involve licensed real estate activity, including title and mortgage businesses, PropTech platforms, institutional investors, commercial operators, and corporate real estate teams. The right structure depends on the activities, personnel, compensation model, and states involved.
Title, mortgage & lending
License Link helps scope a separate licensed brokerage structure and coordinates with the client's counsel where settlement-service and referral rules are relevant. The arrangement must fit the company's actual business model, the states involved, and the activities its people perform.
PropTech & real estate software
That depends on what the platform and its staff do, where they operate, and how they are compensated. License Link helps build the licensed structure and supervision appropriate to the activities in scope, including the written boundaries between licensed and unlicensed roles.
Institutional & commercial
Institutional and commercial teams may need brokerage entities, supervising brokers, or transaction support as they expand. License Link scopes coverage to their acquisitions, dispositions, and other activities, then defines which services and state markets belong in the engagement.
Corporate real estate
License Link helps corporate real estate teams establish licensed structures and broker supervision for the states in which they operate. The services, personnel responsibilities, and continuing oversight are defined for each engagement, so the company can plan expansion without assuming one arrangement fits every market.
We focus on transactional brokerage infrastructure. We do not provide property management broker-of-record services or retail representation for individual home buyers and sellers.
Getting started
We review your activities, current entity and broker structure, target states, and launch priorities. Then we identify the work License Link can perform and prepare a scoped proposal. Tell us which states you need to cover.
