The required credits must be obtained no later than June 30, 2013.  However, to avoid an additional $200 processing fee the required credits must be obtained by April 30, 2013.   For more information, read the Continuing Education Frequently Asked Questions, by clicking on the following link:  State- NJ.  To read the most recent NJREC bulletin, go to:   State

NJ REC Policy on Temporary Offices 

The Real Estate Commission recognizes the significant impact Hurricane Sandy has had on real estate offices throughout many of the hardest hit areas of our state.  Therefore, the Commission is temporarily relaxing provisions of N.J.S.A. 45:15-12 and the regulations of N.J.A.C. 11:5-4.4 with regard to the maintained offices in these areas.  

If you are unable to operate at your registered offices due to conditions resulting from the Hurricane and must relocate temporarily, please notify the Commission of the following: 

  • Name of Firm
  • Telephone number
  • Temporary new address including county
  • Email address

The length of time anticipated at the temporary address will also be helpful. The Commission is waiving the necessity of filing the usual Change of Address form at this time. 

Should you have any questions, please contact Patricia Coppel, Deputy Executive Director, New Jersey Real Estate Commission, (609)292-7272, ext. 50436 or ext. 50138, or  by email: [email protected].

 

HOW CAN MEMBERS HELP THE COMMUNITY AFTER HURRICANE SANDY?

THREE: Contribute to the REALTORS Relief Foundation (RRF). Donations Urged for Hurricane Sandy Victims  It will take more time to know the full impact of Hurricane Sandy, but the devastation in the mid-Atlantic is widespread.   NJAR is coordinating efforts with the National Association of REALTORS and the REALTORS Relief Foundation to get assistance to New Jersey residents.  More information on applying for assistance will be available shortly.  Additionally, please note that funds contributed to the RRF will help NJ residents directly. For those who can, your help is needed.  To make a donation, please click here.    Keep in mind that 100 percent of the money you give to the foundation directly benefits disaster victims; NAR covers all the administrative costs of the fund. Every penny you give goes to those in need.   Please give what you can. There is no better way to demonstrate that REALTORS� are the Heart of the Deal!
