CML QUARTERS (DECEMBER-FEBRUARY, MARCH-MAY, JUNE-AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER)

 

Keybox Policy

 

            Keyboxes are also leased from our office.  Agents can lease these anytime they are needed.  There is an initial lease of $15 per keybox which must be paid when picked up.  After the initial lease, the agent’s quarterly bills will have an additional $2 per keybox added to their normal dues.  Keyboxes, no longer needed, may be returned to the CMLS office for a $10 refund

 

Transferring

 

            If an agent transfers from one company to another, CMLS must receive a Transfer Application with the new broker’s signature and company along with the agent’s signature and address in the correct spot.  This Transfer Application must be accompanied by the Individual Certification of Background Check form, a copy of the pocket license showing new company information and a fee of $25.     

 

Resigning

 

            Any agent who is resigning, going into referral or becoming inactive in real estate must return all equipment (keypad and keyboxes) to the CML Office.   If all equipment is not returned, CML has the right (due to signed lease by agent) to charge agent for the keypad and lockboxes and take any action necessary to have equipment returned.

 

Penalties

 

            Loaning your key or keyboxes and/or giving your pin codes or shackle codes to anyone will result in a $500 fine.  You will also be fined if you give your pin code out to the XMLS web site and this fine is $500.

 

Company Resignation or Suspension

 

            If you company resigns, a letter must be submitted to the CML office stating the resignation date and the letter must be signed by the broker.  If you company resigns or is suspended and wishes to join CML again in the future, the company must reapply for membership as it did the first time.
