updated june 2023

Before You Start

Whether you’re a sales associate or a broker, you need to renew your real estate license every two years. The renewal deadline is always either midnight on March 31 or midnight on September 3. If you do not renew by the deadline, you will be required to undergo all of the pre-licensing steps before you can act as an agent again.
