At activation and every 12 months thereafter. It is nonrefundable once the annual period begins.
Are MLS and association dues included?
No. Association, MLS, licensing, taxes, marketing, and other third-party expenses are separate.

Joining and switching
What happens after I apply?
5X reviews your application. The onboarding process includes the required agreement, Annual Sponsorship Fee payment, TREC invitation and acceptance, and independent verification of active sponsorship before Command Center activation.
Does applying transfer my sponsorship?
No. Submitting an application does not change your sponsorship. Required agreements, payment, TREC actions, and verification come first.
See the switching steps →What happens to my listings and pending transactions?
Existing listings and pending transactions are reviewed individually with the applicable written agreements and current brokerage responsibilities. Coordinate them with 5X before a transfer begins.
Support and Command Center
How do I get brokerage support?
Contact the 5X team or submit a support request in Command Center. The published response target is one business day, not a guarantee. Emergencies and legal deadlines should never rely solely on an automated status.
How do I submit a CDA request?
Use your active Command Center account to submit the transaction and supporting documents for broker review. The legacy Google form is discontinued.
