Reciprocal MA Licensees Can Use Home State CE

There was a recent change to the Massachusetts Continuing Education Statute for reciprocal license folks from across our borders.  If you have a reciprocal license in MA, your CE in your primary license state satisfies your Mass renewal requirements.  Here’s what the Board says, “If you obtained a real estate license in Massachusetts without examination (usually referred to as reciprocity or reciprocal licensure) based upon your license in the other state and you complete the approved continuing education requirement of that other state (regardless of how many hours that state requires) then you have also satisfied the continuing education requirement in Massachusetts and will indicate as much, under the pains and penalties of perjury, on your Massachusetts license renewal application. Obviously, if you do not complete the other state’s approved continuing education requirement, if the other state has no such requirement or you did not obtain your Massachusetts license without examination based upon your licensure in the other state you would then have to complete the continuing education requirement in Massachusetts. (You must complete the approved continuing education requirement in the other state -even if you are exempt- in order for it to satisfy the Massachusetts requirement).”
