ONLINE PROCESSING OF NEW AGENT APPLICATIONS
Brokers can now electronically submit and pay for “new hire” Salesperson, Broker-Salesperson, and Referral applications online. Once the online application is processed and approved, the NJREC will notify the Broker and Licensee by email. If there is a problem with the candidate’s application, or more information is needed, NJREC staff will inform the candidate and Broker via email.

A unified voice of 41,000+ Realtors® has real power on a local state and national level. One of the best ways for Realtors® to impact the political landscape is to VOTE.
