Explanation

A New York licensee may pay or receive referral fees with or from licensees in other states, as long as the agent in the state where the real estate services are performed holds a valid license in that state. New York licensees do not need to be licensed in the other state to receive a referral fee; they simply must not perform any real estate services in the other state.
