Important Reminder from OREC Concerning Your License!
Effective January 1, 2008, anyone applying for a real estate license will be required to submit to a state and federal background check per HB 1006. Background checks will be required on anyone wishing to obtain a Provisional Sales, Sales Associate or Broker License, whether they are applying as a resident or non-resident licensee. The cost for the background check will be approximately $45, and must be submitted to OREC with the appropriate completed form and fingerprint card. OREC will have an order form on their Web site to request a fingerprint card from them. The cost to obtain fingerprints has been estimated at $10, and locations to obtain those prints will also be available on OREC’s Web site.
What this means to you as a licensed associate or broker: Do not let your license expire/lapse!
Be sure to obtain all your necessary CE credits and submit applications and renewal fees promptly. You do not want to find yourself in a situation where your license is “expired,” otherwise, you will be seeking a license under the new law, and will be subject to delays in obtaining a new license. OREC says applicants and “expirees” should allow approximately 60 days for background checks to be completed.
More than ever, do not wait until the end of your 3-year period to complete your required 21 hours of CE! Once you complete your CE hours, ALWAYS follow-up with OREC to make sure all your hours have been recorded before the end of your licensing period; if OREC does not show credit for a class you have taken, call the school that you took the class from, whether it’s GTAR or another one. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure OREC has properly recorded your hours!
