Fall is here, and with it I am frequently asked how to tell what classes an agent has all ready taken in this renewal period. The easiest way to tell what classes the SD Real Estate Commission (SDREC) has credited to you is to check their website, http://www.state.sd.us/sdrec/. Click on the oval button on the right which reads "Licensees Only", then input your user name & password. (Forgotten what they are - never fear - the default rules are posted on the sign-in screen.)
This will take you to a screen with your license info (including your renewal date). Underneath your name is a hyperlink to your education summary. It shows all of your courses registered with the state, so check the years for the year you renew and the previous year. Check out the credits and the type of credits (such as required or elective).
If you received your original real estate license before July 1, 2009 you need 24 hours to renew. At least 12 of those hours must be required courses. The other 12 hours can be any combination of required or elective.
If you received your license after July 1, 2009, you need to take 30 hours of Postlicensing classes, period one. That's a topic for another post!
If you have any questions, please call me, Carol Lawhun, Instructor, 605-390-2338.
