Continuing Education Fee Deadline Extended  

The April 30 Continuing Education deadline was extended until May 31 by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission (REC) at a recent meeting. The vote extends the early deadline to May 31 for real estate brokers, broker-salespersons and salespersons to complete continuing education requirements without incurring a $200 processing fee. This action was taken at the request of NJAR

Every individual licensed as a broker, broker-salesperson or salesperson must complete 12 hours of CE before July 1, 2013 to renew a license or to reinstate an unrenewed license. In order to avoid the $200 processing fee, all CE credits must be completed by May 31. Those who do not complete their CE requirement before May 31 must pay the $200 fee as well as complete the 12 hours of classes before they can relicense. 

More information will be available on the REC website as it becomes available.

This includes employing brokers, brokers of record, broker-salespersons, salespersons and referral agents.

If you do not complete and submit your own online questionnaire and complete 12 hours of Continuing Education, your Broker of Record will not be able to submit your real estate license for renewal and your real estate license will expire June 30, 2013.
