How do you keep a realtor territory once you claim it?
You keep a realtor territory in the Realtor Referral Hub by producing. A territory is claimed at 25 counted points, but claiming is not owning it forever: the holder keeps the metro by staying active — bringing realtors into the network and taking and working the referrals the desk routes there. Production beats money: a territory is never kept by paying rent on it, and a holder who stops producing can lose the metro to a realtor who out-produces them.
Claiming is the start, not the finish
Claim at 25 counted points.
Counted points come from realtors you bring into the network who join — that is how a metro is claimed, free.
Keep it by producing.
The holder stays the metro's partner by continuing to produce — growing the network and working routed referrals, including the desk's check-ins on each one.
Takeovers stay open.
A metro is not locked away from challengers: a realtor who out-produces the holder can take the territory. That is by design — the client in that metro deserves the working local partner, not a parked name.
What keeping a territory is not
It is not rent. Nobody pays a monthly fee to keep a claimed territory, and paying never substitutes for producing. Premium is a separate door — $250 a month or $1,995 a year to hold one open metro with first routing — but an earned territory is held the way it was earned: by production.
