What is a required action for real estate licensees to avoid suspension?

To maintain their licensure and avoid suspension, real estate licensees are required to complete continuing education. This requirement is a fundamental part of ensuring that licensees stay informed about changes in laws, regulations, and best practices within the real estate industry. Continuing education helps professionals enhance their skills and knowledge, which ultimately benefits consumers and maintains the integrity of the real estate profession.

While maintaining an active social media presence, participating in local real estate events, and working under a supervising broker may be beneficial for a licensee’s career and networking, these actions do not fulfill the legal requirements established by Minnesota laws to retain an active real estate license. Specifically, completing continuing education is a mandated process that every licensee must adhere to in order to remain compliant with state regulations and avoid disciplinary actions, such as suspension of their license.
