There is NO grace period for real estate license renewals.
The Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission has stated that any license or registration that is not renewed by May 31, 2022, will be deemed inactive. If you miss the deadline, your license will be expired and you must cease practice immediately or be subject to possible discipline.
For all brokerage licenses (RB, RBR, RM, RMR, LB, LBR, LM, LMR, RR and MR license types) after June 1, 2022, the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission will no longer accept reactivation applications. If the license expires or is placed “Out of Business,” the broker will need to submit new initial applications for a new company and broker of record license. If the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission can tell that the company had a broker license within the last 30 days, then it will waive the inspection, but otherwise all documentation and fees for the new licenses would need to be submitted. Broker sole proprietor licensees (RB) will still be able to reactivate rather than applying for a new license.
If you fail to renew your license, it impacts all of the licensees attached to your brokerage as well.
