Where to Renew Your Real Estate License in Kentucky

Navigating the process of renewing your real estate license in Kentucky can feel overwhelming, whether you're a seasoned professional or in the early stages of your career. Yet, staying up to date on your professional credentials is vital to keeping competitive in the busy and ever-changing world of Kentucky real estate. Understanding where and how to renew your license allows you to focus on what's truly important: working on your real estate career with proficiency, ethics, and insight.

At HomeServices Real Estate Academy, we have locations in both Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, and offer comprehensive online classes. Our team can equip you with the knowledge you need to keep your license current.

Here is a step-by-step guide to navigating the license renewal journey in Kentucky.

1. Satisfy Post-Licensing Requirements

All Kentucky real estate agents must complete a 48-hour post-licensing continuing education courses within two years after obtaining their initial license. This empowers agents to hone their skills and learn about up-to-date real estate regulations. At HomeServices Real Estate Academy, we host these courses regularly, both online and at our Lexington and Louisville campuses.

2. Meet your CE Requirements

In Kentucky, agents are required to complete 12 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years. Of these, six hours are devoted to law, while the remaining six cover electives. At HomeServices Real Estate Academy, our courses are tailored to not only satisfy CE requirements but also provide thorough insight into current real estate trends and industry practices.

3. Apply for Renewal with the KREC

Upon satisfying your educational requirements, you can apply for renewal through the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC). Use their online portal to submit application documents and pay dues. You should do this 60 days before your license expiration to avoid a late fee. HomeServices students receive thorough guidance on this process during their courses.

4. Keep your Record Clean

This goes without saying, but maintaining a transparent and ethically sound professional record remains key for smooth license renewal. The KREC checks for violations when reviewing your application. At our academy, we emphasize ethical standards and problem-solving techniques to help agents avoid pitfalls.
