If you renewed your license after June 30th, your license was reinstated on inactive status. A broker must submit the License Activation and Affiliation Form 2.08 to activate their license and affiliate with a Broker-in-Charge.
Upon a broker’s submission of Form 2.08, Rule 58A .0504 indicates that their license status is active. However, brokers should allow the Commission time to adequately process the form and update their license record. While the form is processing, it is unnecessary to submit duplicate forms, send emails, or initiate follow-up phone calls with Commission staff.
If a broker does not receive written acknowledgment form the Commission within 30 days of the date shown on the form, the broker must cease brokerage activities pending receipt of the written acknowledgment from the Commission.
We are two months into the new license year and less than 2,000 brokers have completed the mandatory 2024-2025 Update course. In last month’s eBulletin, we published an article stressing the importance of completing your education early to make you more knowledgeable, better informed, and more aware of your obligations and duties to protect the public.
Not only is the information contained in this course essential for properly practicing real estate brokerage, but we also believe you will have fun learning it. This year’s course is entitled “Playing to Win” and is built around a game show theme. We did this to maximize engagement in the courses and to create lots of opportunities for interaction between the instructor and the students. We know students learn best when they are engaged and having fun. For the first time ever, we have powered this year’s Update courses with AI tools to create better quality videos and to be more innovative in conveying information. There are also multiple resources shared in this course that brokers can use to further develop their knowledge on these topics.
For brokers taking the General Update (GENUP) course, the topics covered are:
For Brokers-In-Charge and BIC-Eligible Brokers, the Broker-In-Charge Update (BICUP) course covers:
