Mandatory CE Classes Now Being Offered
The New Haven Middlesex Real Estate School is currently offering virtual classes to satisfy 2020-2022 Real Estate Education Requirements. The Mandatory courses for 2020-2022 are as follows:
- Connecticut Real Estate Law for Brokers and Salespersons
- Understanding and Preventing Racial Bias in Real Estate
Code of Ethics is not required by the State of Connecticut for Continuing Education or license renewal; however, it is recommended because Members of the National Association of REALTORS® are mandated to complete this course within three-year cycles. The current Cycle 6 runs from 1/1/19 to 12/31/21. NOTE: ANY COURSE OFFERED BY NHMR WITH “ETHICS” IN THE TITLE SATISFIES THE NAR MANDATE.
Courses are held on the Zoom Meeting platform, a microphone and webcam/camera are required to participate, as the instructor must be able to see and hear the students - as well as interact.
Remember, Members who paid their Association dues by the 1/31/21 deadline earned a credit for a free CE class through NHMR in 2021.

CTR Opposes Expanded Real Estate Taxes - Sign Up for Updates
Senator Martin Looney put forward a proposal for a statewide property tax (SB 171). CT REALTORS® always opposes any effort to have a new statewide property tax or any other new or expanded real estate tax.
Should a statewide property tax bill move forward or if CTR can identify it has any support, they will do an all-member Call for Action and ask for your engagement.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of bills CTR reviews annually and many can impact real estate. CTR will definitely let you know when and how to help.
Please make sure that you are in the CTR text alert system to get breaking news of legislation needing immediate action. You can sign up by texting CTR to 52886 or sign up at ctrealtors.com/text (then respond to the text verification).
