While there are many advantages to setting your real estate license to inactive status rather than letting it lapse, only people with an active license may be active REALTOR® members of 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人®, 任何当地的2021十大正规彩票app经纪人协会, 和全国2021十大正规彩票app经纪人协会®.

意外的疾病, 新的机会, 市场的变化, or a change in your personal life: These are all common reasons why Texas Real Estate Commission license holders may take a break from the business. 不管你的假期是计划好的还是意外的, 设置销售代理, 代理, or inspector license to inactive status before your renewal (or renewing as inactive) is the best move if you want to return to the real estate business in the future. 原因如下:

Inactive License Holders Have Fewer—and Easier—Renewal Steps

未激活的license是当前的license. Although you must still pay to renew your license every two years while on inactive status, you can do so without completing continuing education (CE). Keeping your license current—even on inactive status—means you won’t have to start over and re-take the licensing exam.

When you are ready to return to real estate 代理age activities, you will need to complete your required CE first and then submit a request to activate your license. If you’re a sales agent, you will need to request that a 代理 sponsor you. If you’re a real estate inspector or apprentice inspector, you will need to submit a Real Estate Apprentice and Inspector Sponsorship Form.

我就不能什么都不做吗?

If you take no action to renew your license as active or inactive, 您的许可证最终会过期. 过期的license不是当前的license.
Once your license has been expired for more than two years, you will have to re-apply for your license and follow any current requirements for education and examination. 本质上, you will undergo the license application process all over again, 包括全面的背景调查, 不管你回来后有什么新规定.

进入不活跃状态该做什么和不该做什么

  • Do log in to TREC’s Online Licensing Service Portal to manage your status. Sales agents should terminate sponsorship and inactivate their license under Manage My Sponsorships (Sales), while 代理s and inspectors can use the portal to request inactive status. 如果你愿意，你可以发邮件给 Application for Inactive Broker or Sales Agent Status form or Application for Inactive Inspector Status to documents@trec.德州.政府.
  • 如果您需要获得SAE，请不要停止活动. SAE需求不能推迟. You cannot renew as active or inactive until you complete the required education.
  • Do keep your contact information up to date with TREC，即使你不活动.
  • 不要从事2021十大正规彩票app经纪活动 当你处于非活动状态时.
  • Don’t negotiate a real estate transaction between third parties or you could be subject to disciplinary action by TREC.
  • 不要收取推荐费或佣金 unless these fees were earned while you were on active status.
