NJ Realtors: New Fair Housing CE Requirement On April 6, the
NJ Real Estate Commission (NJREC) declared that all licensees are required to complete the Fair Housing continuing education (CE) requirement to renew their license. The NJREC has waived the $200 processing fee (late fee) until May 31 and has extended the current CE cycle to complete all NJ CE requirements until July 19. Make sure you complete ALL of your NJ CE requirements before May 31 to avoid a late fee of $200.
