The Importance of Timely CE and Record Keeping

As a real estate licensee, staying on top of your continuing education (CE) is not just a regulatory requirement – it’s crucial for the smooth operation of your business and the protection of your license. At the division, we want to ensure our licensees are well-informed and prepared for a seamless renewal process.

The Golden Rule: Complete CE by the 15th!

Your real estate license renewal window opens 45 days before expiration. This gives you ample time to complete your required continuing education and submit your renewal application. However, we strongly recommend completing all your CE by the 15th of the month your license expires. Why the urgency?

Avoid Late Fees and Reinstatement Fees: Failing to renew your license on time can result in late and/or reinstatement fees.
Prevent Interruption of Business: An expired license means you cannot legally engage in real estate transactions. This can cause disruption to your clients, pending deals, and income! By renewing on time, you ensure uninterrupted business activity and maintain your professional standing.
If you answer “YES” to any of the questions on the Questionnaire (criminal or license sanctions), our staff will require extra time for review before a renewal can be processed.

Your Records, Your Responsibility: Keep Those Certificates!

While the division tracks your CE course completions, we strongly suggest that you keep records of all continuing education course completion certificates. These certificates serve as your official proof of completion and are invaluable for several reasons:

Verification: In the rare instance of a record discrepancy, your personal certificates are the ultimate proof of your compliance.
Personal Reference: Your certificates provide a clear overview of your professional development and can be helpful in your own business planning.

Stay Connected: Update Your Email!

Communication is key. The division sends out important renewal notices to the email address on file. Please ensure your email address with the division is always up-to-date. We send out three separate renewal notices, providing detailed information on:

The renewal process;
Continuing education requirements; and
The current status of your license.

These notices are designed to guide you through the renewal process and prevent surprises. Don’t miss out on vital information because of an outdated email address!

In summary, proactive planning is your best asset when it comes to license renewal.

Complete your CE early (preferably by the 15th of your renewal month), keep meticulous records of your completion certificates, and always ensure your contact information with the division is current. By following these simple steps, you can avoid unnecessary stress, fees, and interruptions to your successful real estate career.

Texas CE Requirements

Justin Wells — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 21:24:19 +0000

Continuing Education requirements for Texas Real Estate Agents

In Texas, real estate license holders are required to renew their license every two years. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) oversees the license renewal process and sets the requirements for license holders to stay active and compliant.

To renew their license, Texas real estate license holders must complete a specified number of continuing education (CE) courses.

18 Hours of Approved CE Courses:

8 Hours of TREC legal update I and II
3 Hours of contract related course work
7 Hours of elective CE

It is important for Texas real estate license holders to renew their license on time. If the license is not renewed within six months of the expiration date, the license becomes inactive and the holder must complete additional CE courses and pay a late fee to reactivate it.
Overall, Texas real estate license renewal requires license holders to stay up-to-date with state and industry regulations and requirements, while also investing in their professional development through continuing education.

What If I Am Not Located In Utah Or Nevada

You do not need to physically live in Utah or Nevada to obtain a real estate license in that state. However, our classes are only approved for the state that corresponds with that class. For example, taking the “Nevada Real Estate Sales Agent Pre-Licensing” class is only valid towards obtaining your real estate license in Nevada.

What If I Have An Education Waiver?

Current real estate agents and real estate agents whose licenses have expired may qualify for an education waiver from the state. This waiver reduces the number of credit hours you will have to take. You can contact the state in which you are looking to obtain a real estate license to see if this applies to you.

If you have a state-issued education waiver please email an attachment of it to support@artiacademics.com. We will then guide you to a class with the appropriate credit hours.

Do You Offer Real Estate Broker Licensing Courses?

ARTI® Academics — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 07:05:56 +0000

ARTI Academics sole focus is on helping real estate agents be successful (here’s an overview on the difference between a Broker and an Agent). We currently do not offer Real Estate Broker licensing courses. The reason is because there are relatively few Broker’s in real estate compared with Agents. In fact, most people each day helping others buy and sell real estate are Real Estate Agents. That being said, we do offer continuing education courses which are available to agents and brokers alike, of course at no cost. Our real estate school courses are designed with you in mind and really tailored to help you succeed in the business. That’s why you notice our course offerings so different from other real estate schools in the marketplace.

If you’re looking to become a real estate agent, you have come to the right place. You can get started by Creating an Account.

Utah 3 Hour Required Course – Mandatory Residential Course

ARTI® Academics — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 02:59:19 +0000

The Utah Division of Real Estate now requires a new 3 hour Mandatory Residential Real Estate Course in order to renew your license after January 1st, 2020. This 3 hours is a core class. 9 of the required 18 credit hours must be core, and this counts for 3 of the 9 core classes. This course covers various aspects of the Utah Residential Purchase Contract (REPC). Many schools chose rush the course together within weeks of the Utah Division of Real Estate’s training of instructors and providing the outlines, however ARTI® Academics has been busy assembling the best instructors and preparing course material for you that will be engaging, fulfilling, and propel your success for years to come. Rome wasn’t built overnight!

Why Is This Course Required?

In a nutshell, real estate agents need to be better trained on handling various real estate situations that arise. While each real estate transaction is unique, there are various aspects that are similar. Our class ensures that you are familiar with key provisions, areas of concern, misconceptions and scenarios around the Real Estate Purchase Contract. We are excited to begin offering this course in 2019 with plenty of time for you to complete prior to your next renewal.

When Can I Take The Mandatory 3 Hour Residential Course?

This course is currently in the construction phase and will be available to you before the end of 2019. This will provide ample time to complete prior to your renewal in 2020.

Will you be offering the 3 Hour Mandatory Property Management and Commercial Versions of this course?

We offer extensive training in the Property Management and Commercial Real Estate (coming soon) sectors. That being said, it is not currently in our roadmap to provide the 3 hour mandatory classes. The commercial real estate and property management industries are very niche markets. If property management or commercial real estate is your practice, we recommend taking one of our highly sought after courses.
