Moving brokerages - help!

[Hank Austin]

I live in Washington state. I am moving brokerages for business/money reasons. The brokerage I’m currently with just sent out their outrageous monthly invoice. It contains multiple fees and dues and that month I purchased open house signs (through the brokerage that goes through a different third party system) which amounted to 300 dollars (for 6 signs). My question is do I have to pay these fees and stuff that equal out to 800 dollars in order for them to release my license?? Any hello would be appreciated.

Yes, the fact that you are planning to move brokerages does not release you from your contractual obligation to pay the fees of your brokerage while you are there.
