To assure the accuracy and completeness of your license records with the Real Estate Commission, you must inform the Commission of any changes of specific types of information.
That also includes being certain that your continuing education credits transmitted to the Commission from schools are correct and up-to-date. (Allow up to 15 days after completion of a class for the information to appear on your records.)
Following is a list of the types of changes that must be reported and the individuals and methods required to report the changes:
