SAINT PAUL, MN – The
Minnesota Department of commerce is reminding real estate professionals and
debt collectors with a license expiration date of June 30, 2013 to renew by
4:30 PM Central time.
This includes abstracters,
abstracter companies, real estate brokers, real estate salespersons, real
estate companies, closing agents, limited brokers, collection agencies, and
debt collectors whose licenses have a June 30, 2013 expiration date.
“Renewals are now done
entirely online,” said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. “Reminder postcards
were sent earlier this month to individuals responsible for these licenses.”
The renewals are done online
at www.pulseportal.com;
additional detailed information is available on the Commerce Department website
here and here. A couple of items to
note:
Renewing a broker,
salesperson, or real estate company license is done by the responsible broker.
Salespersons should make sure that the broker who holds their license has all
the information necessary to complete the salesperson's renewal, including
verification that the salesperson has completed all of the applicable
continuing education (CE) requirements.
When an individual real
estate broker or real estate salesperson license renewal application is
submitted, the PULSE system verifies whether that licensee has completed the
required CE. Any individual who has not yet completed all applicable CE
requirements should do so as soon as possible and no later than June 15.
Education providers need time to upload their student rosters into the PULSE
system.
