How To Become The Broker Of An Existing Company

Please follow the steps below to become Broker of an existing company:

1. Current broker must sign their license as well as each and every branch office, associate broker and salesperson license under them. You will need to hang onto these until the final step.

2. New broker must add their name as an officer/member of the company on the WV Secretary Of State's website and complete the following forms:

Subordination Resolution

Trust Fund Account or Waiver

3. The new broker must fill out the Online Application. (If the new Broker does not already hold a WV Broker license, they will need to go start the Broker License Process.)

Here, the broker will be able to upload the Trust Fund document and Subordination Resolution.

**If the new Broker is already a licensed Broker/Associate Broker in WV, they will need to select Licensed In Another Jurisdiction as the Candidate Type and put in today's date for the State & National pass dates.**

4. Next, the broker will need to complete a Change of Employing Broker form for each branch office, associate broker and salesperson with the company. These will then be uploaded with each agents signed license in the Online Change of Employing Broker Request.

Note: If the current Broker is moving their license to an Associate Broker for the same company, they will need to send in their license, signed and dated as well as complete an Online Application for Associate Broker.

Once all of the above has been completed, we will move forward with processing the application for the new broker, cancelling out the current broker's license and switching all agents over to the new broker.
