Chair's Corner
By Thomas Richie
Hello – I hope you all had a great Spring and are looking forward to a beautiful Wisconsin Summer!
The goal and intent of the newsletter are to inform and sometimes remind licensees of the Real Estate Examining Board’s (REEB) and the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) activities relating to real estate. We also have decided as a Board to continue the Board Orders section of our newsletter, which includes a list of orders and disciplinary actions that have occurred against licensees since the previous newsletter was distributed. The reason for posting orders and disciplinary actions is so licensees remain cognizant of the importance of following the ethical and professional standards set forth by Wisconsin statute and rules.
License Renewal and Continuing Education Requirements
Please Note: A person who was issued/granted their original or initial salesperson license is now required to satisfy the continuing education requirement during the biennium in which the person receives that license, except that a person who was issued/granted their original or initial salesperson license after October 1, of an even year, is not required to satisfy the continuing education requirement and is exempt for that one renewal cycle only. There is no exception for a person who was issued/granted an original or initial broker license.
Additional Renewal Information can be found at:
Salesperson:https://dsps.wi.gov/Pages/Professions/RESalesperson/Default.aspx
Broker: https://dsps.wi.gov/Pages/Professions/REBroker/Default.aspx
Wishing you all a happy and safe Wisconsin Summer!
