This is a comprehensive Brokerage course. At the conclusion of this course, students will;
If you fail to renew your license by January 31st after your expiration date, your license will become inactive, and you won’t be able to legally practice as a real estate broker.
Once your license expires or goes inactive, you have less than 36 months to complete the Colorado license real estate reinstatement process. To do so, you must complete the 24-hour Colorado broker reactivation training course and submit a reinstatement application.
If your license has been inactive or expired for more than 36 months, you can only regain an active license by completing the application process again, which includes passing the 72-hour broker pre-license curriculum.
Colorado real estate licenses need to be renewed every three (3) years. The normal Colorado real estate license renewal period runs until December 31st of your expiring year, but if you fail to submit your renewal application by this date, you have a 31-day grace period to submit without incurring penalties.
During your initial licensing period, your renewal period may be somewhat less than three years, because all Colorado real estate license renewals must be completed by a universal expiration date regardless of when they are issued.
During every three-year renewal period, you must complete 24 total hours of approved Continuing Education (CE).
Twelve (12) of these hours will be electives. These can be completed at any time during the three-year period.
The other credits are time-sensitive. Each calendar year, you must complete a four-hour Annual Commission Update (ACU) course. The curriculum is unique to each year and only available until the end of the relevant year.
If you forget to take one of the ACUs, you’ll need to use an alternate – and far more time-consuming – method to meet your renewal requirements. One of these options is passing the 24-hour Colorado broker reactivation training, but this option is only permitted once every other license cycle. Another option is passing the State portion of the Colorado broker’s exam again. The final option is to repeat the 72-hour Broker’s pre-license coursework.
