Arizona Agent Move Kit
How to Switch Brokerages in Arizona: 60-Day Playbook Hub
By John Patrick Mijac, Managing Broker & Branch Manager – 1912 Realty, Tucson
If you are an experienced Arizona agent thinking about changing brokerages, this hub is designed to make your move organized, compliant, and calm. Instead of guessing at the order of operations, use this 60-day sequence and the linked checklists, scripts, and compliance guides as your move playbook.
Everything here is written from the perspective of a working managing broker who has helped agents move in, move out, and stay out of trouble with ADRE and their clients.
Quick Overview: What This Hub Gives You
- A simple 60-day timeline for planning your move.
- Links to an 18-item data export checklist so you do not lose your business.
- Guidance for transferring listings and pendings without derailing your closings.
- Client-friendly scripts for explaining your move with confidence.
- A day-one compliance punch list and a broker support framework for your first 30 days at 1912 Realty.
60-Day Move Timeline for Arizona Agents
Days 60–45: Quiet preparation
- Clarify why you are moving and what you need from your next brokerage (support, splits, education, culture).
- Review your current independent contractor agreement and policy manual so you understand what belongs to you and what belongs to the brokerage.
- Schedule a confidential conversation with the receiving broker to confirm they can support your mix of business.
Days 45–30: Data, documents, and pipeline
- Work through the Arizona Agent Move Kit export checklist to secure your CRM data, calendar, and transaction history.
- Tag A, B, and C clients so you know who must hear from you personally when you announce the move.
- Identify any at-risk deals and talk through a transition plan with your managing broker.
Days 30–14: Listings, pendings, and marketing
- Use the transfer listings & pendings guide to understand how each active file will be handled.
- Audit your marketing footprint (signage, business cards, websites, portals, social media) and make a list of everything that will need updating once your license transfers.
- Block out time on your calendar for the administrative side of the move so you are not doing this at midnight between showings.
Days 14–7: Script your move conversations
- Review the client notice scripts and customize them to your voice.
- Plan how you will talk with your sphere, active clients, and key referral partners about your brokerage change.
- Decide what “better for you” language is true and defensible: stronger support, better tools, tighter compliance, or all of the above.
Days 7–0: Execute the move
- Coordinate the timing of your resignation, license transfer with ADRE, and onboarding with the new brokerage.
- Send client and partner communications using the scripts you have prepared.
- Begin updating public-facing sites and social profiles as soon as your license and brokerage information are correct.
First 30 days at your new brokerage
- Use the day-one compliance checklist so your files and advertising are correct from the start.
- Lean on your broker’s 30-day support plan—especially for complex files, new systems, and anything that feels uncertain.
- Schedule time each week to review how the move is impacting your pipeline, your schedule, and your stress level.
