Onboarding, e-signatures, training and license files in one place, for 1099 agents and W-2 staff alike.

Agents sign with you. Proving it is the hard part.
About 40,400 broker and agent openings come up every year, and more than half of agents work for themselves.* Every closing gets checked to the cent. The agent's signed commission schedule is somewhere in an inbox.

Signed by the agent and the broker, without the paper chase
You launch the agent's plan and send the agreement to both. Each signs from their own inbox, and every result comes back to you.

An agent leaves, a dispute comes up, and nobody can find the agreement they signed. Or the date their license was renewed. With agents coming and going, that paperwork ends up scattered across inboxes. I want you to have all of it in one place. In FirstHR every agent signs your agreement online. Their license sits on file with its renewal date, and they take your fair housing training before their first client.
