How often must a salesperson or broker’s license be renewed?

In Virginia, a salesperson or broker must renew their real estate license every two years. This requirement ensures that real estate professionals stay current with industry standards, legislation, and best practices. The two-year renewal cycle allows for ongoing education and helps maintain a high level of professionalism within the field.

This period also aligns with the requirement to complete continuing education courses to keep the license active and comply with state regulations. Real estate professionals must complete these educational requirements within the renewal period to ensure they are up to date with any changes in laws and practices.

The other choices suggest intervals that are either shorter or longer than what is mandated by Virginia law, which is specifically set at two years to promote consistency and compliance amongst licensees.
