An inactive real estate license in Michigan means starting over. Holding it with a referral-only real estate broker keeps it alive instead.

Sell, broker, or refer—on your terms.
Letting a Michigan real estate license lapse isn't just an inconvenience — it typically means starting over: retaking pre-licensing coursework, resitting the state exam, and losing the years of standing you've already built with the state. Agents who step away from active selling, whether for a career change, family reasons, or simply a slow season, often don't realize there's a middle path between staying fully active and losing the license altogether.
National Holding exists for exactly that gap. Instead of paying full MLS and REALTOR® dues to keep a license active while you're not transacting, or letting it expire and rebuilding from zero later, you place your license in holding for $85/year. It stays in good standing with the state, you keep your continuing education current, and you're free to pick back up — selling, brokering, or just referring — whenever you're ready.
Here's how a typical referral works:
You refer. We support. You earn.
No problem. National Holding keeps your Michigan real estate license in escrow for agents who aren't actively transacting.
Absolutely! As a real estate license referral company, we let you refer buyers, sellers, or investors anytime.
Easy. When you’re ready, simply choose a broker and get back to real estate.
