SPECIAL NOTICE TO MISSOURI BROKERS:

Missouri license renewal for brokers is June 30. While you're checking your requirements to make sure you're ready, please remember the following:

Although the Missouri Real Estate Commission will count CE classes (for brokers) taken since July 1, 2008, they WILL NOT COUNT THE CORE CLASS unless it was taken after October 1, 2008 and/or is titled “Representation Options in the State of Missouri.”

Why? Because the MREC mandated a special curriculum for the core class for 2008-2010 and this special core was not offered by KCRAR until October of that year.

************************************************************************************

Both states require 12 hours of CE (Continuing Education) every two years. Use the checklist  to help you keep track. See link at the bottom of this page.

What have you already taken? 

Check that file folder in your desk where you saved your course completion certificates! Also, this KCRAR website shows the hours you have accrued from attending KCRAR classes.  After you have logged on, click on the option for Education History. Caution: We do not know about hours attended at any other school. 

You can go to the Kansas Real Estate Commission at www.kansas.gov/krec for a complete record under “Check CEU Hours” but Missouri does not post any of your hours online. Missouri will post these in the future, so read the next paragraph about it.

Specifically for Missouri renewal:

Everyone, regardless of license issue date, renews in even numbered years. You need 12 hours of CE dated after 10/1/08. A recent change is that Brokers can count hours taken after 7/1/08. Whether broker or salesperson, you must have the 3-hour Missouri required course titled "Representation Options in the State of Missouri" (at KCRAR, this is titled "Two State Core" and is a CC course code prefix) and nine hours of elective classes. Brokers renew in June 2010 and Salespersons renew in September 2010.

The MREC website does not post your attendance. Their phone is (573) 751-2628. However, Missouri will begin the online posting of the classes you have taken only IF you check the appropriate box on the renewal form you receive to renew your license this year. This enables you to "opt in" for this new feature. Then, for the next renewal period, the online posting will take effect. Missouri considers your CE hours to be confidential, and they'll keep the information hidden unless you tell them to post it. Be aware that if you do opt to have it posted, the public will be able to see the information too.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO MISSOURI BROKERS:

Although the Missouri Real Estate Commission will count CE classes (for brokers) taken since July 1, 2008, they WILL NOT COUNT THE CORE CLASS unless it was taken after October 1, 2008 and/or is titled “Representation Options in the State of Missouri.”

Why? Because the MREC mandated a special curriculum for the core class for 2008-2010 and this special core was not offered by KCRAR until October of that year.

Everyone renews at a different time in a two-year period depending on your last initial. When is yours?  Scroll down to see our chart below.  For the course codes on your certificates, you need a three-hour course starting with M (Salesperson and Broker Core - at KCRAR we title this as "Two State Core" and is an M course code prefix) and also nine hours of classes starting with the letter E. (Brokers must have three hours starting with M and also three hours starting with MB [Kansas Broker Core], and then six hours starting with E.) On this website, read the course descriptions and you'll see if a class is mandatory (required), or if it is an elective.  License expiration dates are staggered over a two-year period. Education and renewal of license are due on the last day of the month immediately preceding the license expiration date. See chart below. Renewals made in the expiration month are assessed $50 extra by the real estate commission.

Both states:

If you take all your classes at KCRAR, you can be assured your courses will count for each state simultaneously. Therefore, taking 4 classes of 3 hours each will satisfy both states.

Code of Ethics training:

This is required in the four-year cycle between 12/31/2008 and 12/31/2012.  This is a requirement of remaining a REALTOR® and has nothing to do with license renewal.  Your “Education History” record at KCRAR.com will show if you have attended this.  Make sure your completion date is within the dates of this current cycle.  Click here for information about taking the course.
