Bulletin 1997 V28-1
Brokers-in-charge of real estate offices recently received a sample reminder notice informing them that, if they do not renew their real estate licenses ON ACTIVE STATUS by June 30, the licenses of all salesmen working at their offices will be placed on "inactive" status, and the Commission will change its addresses-of-record for all brokers and salesmen at the office to their residence addresses. The sample notice was not meant to imply negligence on the part of all brokers-in-charge in meeting the renewal deadline. Instead, it was sent (and is being reprinted here) as a reminder to all brokers and salesman with "active" licenses: Complete your continuing education by June 10 so that you can renew your license on "active" status by June 30.
IN MID-MAY, THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION WILL SEND YOU A FORM TO RENEW YOUR REAL ESTATE LICENSE FOR 1997-98. IF YOU DO NOT RENEW YOUR LICENSE ON "ACTIVE" STATUS BY JUNE 30, WE WILL IN EARLY JULY SEND YOU A "NOTICE OF LICENSE RECORD CHANGE" SIMILAR TO THIS. IF YOU HAVE NOT RENEWED YOUR LICENSE, THE NOTICE WILL INDICATE "EXPIRED". IF YOU RENEWED YOUR LICENSE BUT DID NOT COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED CONTINUING EDUCATION, IT WILL INDICATE "INACTIVE" STATUS AND THAT YOUR ADDRESS OF RECORD HAS BEEN CHANGED TO YOUR RESIDENCE ADDRESS. A COPY OF THE NOTICE SHOWING YOUR LICENSE "EXPIRED"OR "INACTIVE" WILL BE SENT TO ALL BROKERS AND SALESMEN WORKING AT YOUFl OFFICE. THEY WILL ALSO RECEIVE A SEPARATE NOTICE INFORMING THEM THAT, AS A RESULT, THEIR ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO THEIR RESIDENCE ADDRESS AND SALESMAN LICENSES CHANGED TO "INACTIVE" STATUS. LIKEWISE, IN EARLY JULY, WE WILL SEND A NOTICE INDICATING "EXPIRED" OR "INACTIVE" TO ALL BROKERS AND SALESMEN AT YOUR OFFICE WHO HAVE NOT RENEWED THEIR LICENSES ON "ACTIVE" STATUS. YOU WILL BE SENT A COPY OF EACH NOTICE SO YOU CAN TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO ASSURE THAT THESE BROKERS AND SALESMEN DO NOT PERFORM ANY ACT REQUIRING A REAL ESTATE LICENSE. TO PREVENT THE CLOSING OF YOUR REAL ESTATE OFFICE JULY 1, MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES BY THE JUNE 10 DEADLINE AND YOU HAVE RENEWED YOUR LICENSE BY JUNE 30.
