Empire Learning: Your Complete Solution to Michigan Real Estate License Renewal

RECENT CHANGES FOR YOUR MICHIGAN LICENSE AND CONED REQUIREMENTS:

Your Real Estate License Expiration Date has changed: This means that your annual date to complete your ConEd has also changed.  To lookup your license expiration date with the State of Michigan, click here.

NEW Fair Housing CE Requirement: As of February 13, 2024, all licensees must complete a minimum of 1 hour of approved Fair Housing credit annually. Completion of a Fair Housing course prior to February 13, 2024 does not satisfy this requirement for the current year. 

IF YOUR LICENSE EXPIRES BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER 30, 2025:

  1. Complete Your ConEd: You must have a minimum of 6 Legal credit hours, 1 Fair Housing credit hour, and the remaining 11 hours can be legal, fair housing, or elective credits to total 18 credit hours. To lookup your current credits, click here.
  2. Renew Your License online with the State of Michigan.

CONED REQUIREMENTS IN MICHIGAN

Michigan real estate licensees are required to complete 18 hours of continuing education in every 3-year renewal cycle. Each year by the license expiration date, you must complete 2 hours of Legal credit and 1 hour of Fair Housing credit coursework. The remaining hours can be either legal, fair housing, or elective course credits to total 18 credit hours before the license can be renewed.

Empire Learning recommends that all licensees complete one of our three Michigan Fair Housing and Legal Update Courses as they are approved to satisfy this new 1-hour fair housing and 2-hours legal credit that are required for this year.

In accordance with state regulations, all courses offered by Empire Learning for credit in Michigan have been certified by CE Marketplace.

View Michigan CE Courses

Licensees are not allowed to repeat the exact same course for credit within the same renewal cycle (3 year period), but may do so for consecutive cycles.

To see your completed courses for this 3-year cycle, login to your account on CE Marketplace.

According to State regulations, a licensee must retain evidence acceptable to the Department that demonstrates he or she has met the CE requirements for at least 4 years after the date of that certification and must produce that evidence at the request of the Department. It is the licensee’s responsibility for documenting the evidence to support the fulfillment of Continuing Education requirements; the Department does not maintain a record of this information.
