Courses Overview

Please note the following for taking the courses:

  • Each course comes with an ebook, which is available in the Student Portal after purchase.

Basic Requirements

To renew your California real estate license, please review the following requirements:

You must disclose to the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) any criminal convictions or disciplinary actions as required by law.

All information provided to the DRE must be complete, accurate, and truthful.

Please note, if you are 70 years of age or older and have held a real estate license in good standing for 30 years or more, you may qualify for continuing education and examination exemptions. See the 70/30 Exemption Information section below for details.

70/30 Exemption Information

If you are 70 years of age or older and have held a California real estate license in good standing for 30 years or more, you may qualify for continuing education and examination exemptions through the DRE.

Please verify your eligibility with the DRE before registering for a renewal course. Charlie Krackeler Presents is unable to determine your eligibility for this exemption.

If you register for a course and later discover that you qualify for an exemption, our standard refund and credit policies will apply.

Key Information

Before renewing your license, please review the following information:

Renewing a salesperson license does not convert it to a broker license. Broker licensing requires a separate application and qualification process.

California real estate licenses must be renewed every 4 years. The DRE allows a 2-year late renewal period, but you cannot conduct licensed activity while your license is expired.

For Further Details

Please visit the DRE’s website for further requirements and waiver possibilities, and contact them directly for answers on how they apply to your situation.
