You will operate as either an employee or an independant contractor with the Brokerage you are now a member of.

If not much is going on with your sales career as a realtor, do you just call it quits and just forget about your licence until it terminates? What about where your life circumstances has you taking into consideration a leave of absence? The point is, you do not have to call it quits. You worked hard for and were excited when you obtained your real estate license. Park it and cut most of the operating expenses. Shelve your Ontario realty licence and save a lot of money - money that should go back in your wallet and not spent needlessly.

Board fees, association dues, transaction fees, monthly fees, desk fees, and so on. You can warehouse your license with a low cost Ontario RECO registered brokerage and eliminate those unnecessary expenses that are no longer relevant to you as your main focus now should be that of your career change.

You can still sell or refer business and earn top commissions while having your license parked. So don't hesitate to put your licence on hold and with the support of a Broker you can trust.
