    • Paul,
      Hello! When your license expires. You have 2 years from the expiration date to reactive your license and pay a late fee. There is no paperwork that you need to complete.
      To reactivate your license you need to go to the boards website and pay for your license renewal online. If you have never paid for your license online. You will need to create an account and link your license to that account.
      If you do not have the renewal paperwork that the board mailed you. You will need to call the board to ask them for your Record ID/license number and Authorization Code (617) 727-3074.

  2. I had my real estate license 14 years ago; I let it expire and never took continuing education classes.

    Is it better to retake the classes/exam at this point? Any advice is appreciated.

    • Hello! Thank you for coming to us for help with your real estate license. The state does not let you retake the class if you have an expired license. You will need to fill out the application to reinstate your license. You can find the request for application as a link in the blog post on our website.
      You will also need to complete 12 hours of continuing education. The state allows us to complete our real estate continuing education online. We have 6 classes each class is 2 hours to equal 12 hours.
      Please let us know if we can help answer any other questions for you.

  4. I am a MA Licensed attorney. My RE Broker License expired almost nine (9) years ago. How long will it take to reinstate the expired license?

    • Anthony,
      As an attorney you still have to fill out the application to reinstate your license. You do not have to complete 12 hours of continuing education. The process takes a few weeks.

    • Crissy,
      Hello! Did you have your Brokers license through Massachusetts or Connecticut?
      1. If it was Connecticut. Then you will have to retake the class for your Salesperson license and work for a Brokerage for 3 years before becoming eligible to become a Broker her in Massachusetts.
      2. If you had your license through Massachusetts, then you just need to complete 12 hours of continuing education and fill out the application to reinstate your expired Broker license.

  7. Hi , I am trying to activate an expired Ma RE salesperson license from 2001. I completed and submitted the state application, at this point do I wait for a response or should I proceed to taking the required 12 hours of CE?

    • Angelo,
      Hello! Yes you need to complete your 12 hours of continuing education before you mailed in the reinstatement application. Right at the top of the application it tells you that you need to complete the 12 hours before mailing in the paperwork.

      “All licensees requesting an active status on the Reinstatement Application (except Massachusetts Attorneys in Good
      Standing) must complete twelve (12) hours of continuing education before signing and returning the Reinstatement
      Application (list of Board approved Schools at mass.gov/dpl/boards/re). Licensees holding a current inactive
      license requesting an active license must complete a License Reactivation Form.      “

    • Terrence,
      Congratulation on reinstating your real estate license. You can check a license on the Division of Professional Licensure website.
      To search for your information you just need choose the correct Board, license type and enter in your information.

      1. Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons
      2. Either a Salesperson or Broker license
      3. Either your license number or Full Name

    • Bill the real estate license is up for renewal every 2 years. If your license expired 10 years ago you will be required to pay for 5 renewals. If your reinstating your Salesperson license the fee is $103 every 2 years. So reinstate your license after 10 years the cost would be 5 renewals x $103 = $515 plus any late fees or reinstatement fees.

    • Bill,
      You have to pay for each renewal that you missed, a late fee and a reinstatement fee. The renewal fee for Salesperson License $103 and Broker License $146 every 2 years.

  13. Thanks for your thoughts. One thing I’ve got noticed is the fact banks in addition to financial institutions understand the spending behaviors of consumers and as well understand that the majority of people max outside their cards around the breaks. They smartly take advantage of that fact and then start flooding ones inbox in addition to snail-mail box having hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers shortly after the holiday season closes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98% in the American general public, you’ll soar at the one opportunity to consolidate consumer credit card debt and switch balances for 0 apr interest rates credit cards. kjjjilm https://stomachmedi.com – generic stomach medicine

  19. I realized more a new challenge on this fat loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is very vital any time dieting. A massive reduction in junk food, sugary food items, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and white-colored flour products could be necessary. Having wastes parasitic organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent targets for fat loss. While specific drugs in the short term solve the situation, the awful side effects usually are not worth it, and so they never offer you more than a momentary solution. This is a known undeniable fact that 95% of celebrity diets fail. Thank you for sharing your opinions on this website. https://osteoporosismedi.com osteoporosis medication

  23. Hi,

    I was a real estate salesperson in MA between 2008-2010, however, my license is expired and I now live in NC and want to get my real estate license here. Should I reinstate my MA license, take the 12 hrs of credits and transfer it to NC, or begin from scratch in NC? I know that there is limited reciprocity between the two states? What’s the most efficient and cost-effective path forward. Thank you!

  28. My salesperson license expired in January 2023. I want to active it to an inactive status. I believe this will allow me to do referrals without belonging to a brokerage firm. Can you tell me what the process is?
