MREC ANNOUNCES NEW RULE ON ETHICS REQUIREMENTS
The Missouri Real Estate Commission (MREC) voted last year to add real estate ethics as a core topic for continuing education (CE). Additionally, the Commission approved real estate ethics as a continuing education core course requirement for the next renewal of both broker and salesperson type licenses. The Commission reviews complaints filed against real estate licensees, investigation reports, and findings of audits of real estate entities. In many of the cases reviewed, the Commission determined various violations cited were ethics related matters. 

Therefore, the Commission decided to require a real estate ethics core course before a license can be renewed in 2020 for the 2020-2022 license period. To renew your license in 2020, you will need to have a 3-hour core real estate ethics course plus 9 hours of other continuing education. The other nine hours can be either elective courses, core courses, or any combination of elective and core courses. CE does not apply to inactive licenses. 

If you have questions about CE, call MREC at (573) 751-2628, ext. 6
