@CNMall41: expressed objections to include the following:
Move acquired Opcity, the Austin, Texas-based real estate brokerage TREC License # 9005100, for $210 million in 2018.[1] Opcity, a "paper brokerage" that allocates potential home buyers to third-party "partner agents",[2]
and
UpNest, Inc., a licensed real estate brokerage in California under DRE License # 01928572, to expand its seller strategy. UpNest allocates real estate customers with multiple third-party "partner agents" in their referral network in exchange for 30% kickbacks of their gross commissions earned.
This is a discussion seeks input on subject as to what Opcity and UpNest are and how these things should be described within the article. Litesand (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the discussion and not the edit war. It would be up to you to propose what you want added and how it should be presented. I am pingning Inkian Jason who is the COI editor originally requesting the removal of the license numbers. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:38, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- @CNMall41: My proposed edit is above. It clarifies two things: UpNest and Opcity are licensed real estate brokers and they operate by taking a cut of the "partner agents" commissions which are part of their respective referral networks. This is a straight forward edit, and license status is notable in this case. License references have been used in certain articles to reference correct professional designations. For instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Shapiro_(lawyer) was OJ's lawyer, the Article about him references his State Bar of California license. The detail is relevant here as matter of public disclosure and proper designation of brokers. State laws in both TX and CA require real estate brokers to identify themselves as such.

- There are several pages in which you are attempting to include information about referrals. There are many reasons why I object and stated so in the edit summaries. Your proposed edit above seems to coatrack by implementing information about these companies into one that purchased them. As stated on your talk page, this gives the appearance of WP:RGW and I would be opposed to including it. As far as the mention of Shapiro, there is no mention of his license number in that Wikipedia page. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:18, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
