The New Jersey Real Estate Commission (NJREC) offers a Continuing Education (CE) exemption for brokers and broker-salespersons licensed for 40 years or more. This exemption applies for the CE term from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025, and simplifies the license renewal process for experienced professionals.

To qualify for the exemption:

• You must have been licensed as a Broker or Broker-Salesperson for 40 years or more.
• Licensure as a salesperson for 40 years does not count toward the exemption.
• Licensing history from other states may also qualify if it is substantially similar to New Jersey broker or broker-salesperson roles.

Eligible licensees must complete the "Application for Continuing Education Exemption Based on Licensure as a Broker or Broker-Salesperson for 40 Years or More" and submit it along with any required documentation. Applications must be sent to the NJREC by March 15, 2025, via mail, email, or fax. If relying solely on New Jersey licensing history, no additional documentation is needed. However, applicants using licensing records from other jurisdictions must provide a certified license history and supporting documents.
