California Real Estate License Renewal
California real estate agents have a relatively smooth process for renewing their licenses compared to other states. In many places, continuing education requirements must be fulfilled every two years, with some even requiring annual renewals. Additionally, certain states mandate that part of the continuing education be completed in-person. Fortunately, renewing a California real estate license is much simpler. Both salesperson and broker licenses in California only need to be renewed every four years and all of the education can be completed online. However, those years can fly by quickly, so if your renewal date is approaching, now is the perfect time to complete your required courses.
