• Lofty: an all-in-one business suite with CRM, custom websites (optional), and AI features to help you track and grow your business

Can I continue to use Transaction Desk, or do I have to use SkySlope?

You can use Transaction Desk for paperwork, but you will have to use SkySlope to upload and submit all documents to the brokerage for review. SkySlope is a full transaction management system, so we encourage you to use it. Our team is happy to provide training to anyone who is unfamiliar with the program. There is live support available.

Will I have access to my past/current files after I separate from my current brokerage?

No. Those files are the property of your current broker. If you have files/paperwork you’d like access to at a later date, you should download those prior to separating. Our team is on site to assist you in the download process or can complete the process for you.

Should I transfer or cancel my current listings before making the move?

You can do either but should do so prior to transferring your license.

Both options are available. A transfer may be easier with less paperwork for you or your client. It does require your current broker’s signature to be released and the new Broker’s signature to accept.

A cancellation only requires an AAR Listing Contract Addendum signed by you and your client to cancel and does require new paperwork for the new listing. DOM does not reset unless off market for 45 days.

If I am not sure about my decision and would like to speak to some of the current Arizona Territory agents, can I do that?

Of course. We encourage you to reach out to any of our Executives throughout the state.

Am I locked into Realty Executives Arizona Territory for one year?

While most ICA agreements state that you are agreeing to a one-year contract/term, you have an easy out at any time, without need for cause, and without penalty!

We do not require a 30-day notice or any other time frame. If you are not happy with our brokerage, please reach out to a member of leadership to see if we can help. If you choose to leave, you can do so with no strings attached. In fact, we always encourage you to keep your business cards and signs. We’ve had 26 agents alone in 2025 who have left the brokerage and returned! Come give us a try...let us earn your business.

Are there penalties if join and then change my mind?

No. At any time, you are free to leave without penalty.

You keep your listings. Escrows will stay with the brokerage, but you will be allowed to work with your clients through the finish and be paid the exact same as if you were with us.

I’ve decided to make the switch, what are my next steps?

You will need to complete the Hire On paperwork and submit it to our brokerage, log into ADRE and request to be hired (add/change employer) using Lic# LC640973003.

Once approved, you will receive several welcome emails and we will have you up and running shortly!

Who We Are

We are a full-service real estate company committed to creating a professional, agent-focused environment backed by world-class support. Our culture is built on a core belief: when agents are treated as true partners in a collaborative setting, their businesses—and their lives—thrive. As a locally owned company led by hands-on leadership with a vested interest in our success, we remain dedicated to preserving this philosophy.

Since our founding in 2011 with just a handful of agents and one office, we’ve grown to over 650 agents across 27 offices statewide. We proudly maintain membership in every major MLS in Arizona.

The Brand
