Realtor Continuing Education
The New York Department of State requires all real estate brokers and salespersons to complete 22.5 hours of real estate continuing education each two-year renewal period in order to maintain their licenses. These courses are required by the state and must include at least one hour of ethical business practices and at least one hour of recent legal matters affecting the practice of real estate.
In addition to these mandatory courses, both brokers and salespersons must take a one-hour course on the law of agency. This course is required by the state even if you have already taken it as part of your broker qualifying course in the past.
Aside from these mandatory courses, many of our students choose to take additional elective courses that will enhance their skills and improve their chances of passing the state exam. Some of these courses include advanced marketing, computer and technology training, and other topics that are pertinent to your everyday job duties. These elective courses can be very beneficial in the long run and may help you increase your income.
Taking these additional courses may also help you gain a competitive edge in your local market, which can lead to higher commissions. These additional courses are often offered for free or at a reduced cost through the association that hosts the course.
The most important thing to remember is that you must keep proof of your course completion certificates. These can be requested by the New York Department of State in the event of an audit. If you are audited, having these certificates will help you to prove that you did indeed complete your courses and were in compliance with the state requirements.
