Qualifying Questionnaire

The renewal or reinstatement of your real estate license is dependent upon you successfully submitting your own online questionnaire (for the appropriate licensing period) to the Real Estate Commission (REC). This includes Brokers of Record (including Employing Brokers), Brokersalespersons, Salespersons, and Referral Agents. No paper questionnaires will be accepted. Until the questionnaire is completed, you will not be able to be hired by a Broker.
