For an active-status renewal, a salesperson must complete at least one 3-hour Commission-accredited continuing education CORE course PLUS at least 12 elective hours (15 hours total per 2-year cycle), per Rea 403.01 and RSA 331-A:20. Elective topics include property valuation, construction, contract and agency law, ethics, financing and investment, land use and zoning, property management, taxation, environmental issues, and supervision/office management. FIRST renewal differs: salespersons licensed on/after Feb 1, 2024 must complete the 12 elective hours as POST-LICENSING courses covering four required topics (Purchase and Sales Agreements, Ethical Behavior, Disclosure Forms, Agency); these post-licensing courses satisfy the elective requirement at first renewal. Standard (non-first) renewals may count an additional 3-hour core course toward the elective requirement. All courses must be completed within the current 2-year license period (or the late-renewal period if applicable).
