Question:
How do I obtain a certificate of licensure history?
Answer:
Send a written request to the Real Estate Commission with a check payable to
the "State of Delaware." See Fee Schedule.
Question: How do I place a license
on inactive status?
Answer: Complete Section B of the License
Status Change form with your broker who will return the form
with the license, the pocketcard and the fee (see fee schedule) payable to the "State
of Delaware." Licenses may remain inactive for an indefinite period.
A renewal form is sent annually prior to June 30 to allow anyone
with an inactive license to extend the inactive period for another
year by paying the fee shown on the form.
In order to maintain inactive status, the licensee must respond
in a timely manner to the renewal notice. A licensee wishing to
reactivate his/her license will be required to submit proof of
fulfillment of continuing education requirements for each renewal
period.
Question: How do I reactivate
an inactive license?
Answer: To reactivate a license which
has been placed on inactive status, all continuing education
documentation for every license renewal period that has occurred
since the license became inactive must be attached to the Request
for Reactivation of a License form completed by you and
your broker and sent to the Commission with the appropriate
fee(s). Please contact the Commission's office to determine
what fees apply to your situation. Processing fees are
prorated. A reactivation fee is required. If you have changed brokers since the license was last active, a transfer fee is also due. All fees are payable to the "State
of Delaware."
Question: How do
I transfer a license?
Answer: To transfer a license from one broker's
office to another, complete Section A of the License
Status Change form. The form must bear three original signatures. Submit to the
Commission with the current wall license
released by your present broker, the pocketcard and transfer fee payable to the "State of Delaware." Failure
to report a change in business location as required may result
in a cancellation of your license. See 24
Del. C. § 2920 and Commission
Rule 6.0.
Question: As a broker, what
may I do if I have associates whom I cannot contact or wish to
remove from my office?
Answer: To terminate a licensee from your office, complete
Section C of the License Status Change form,
attach the current wall license and submit to the Commission.
The licensee is informed of the termination by a certified notice
sent to the mailing address you furnish on the form.
Question: How to surrender a
license which is not going to be used in the future?
Answer: Complete Section D of the License
Status Change form, attach the license and pocketcard and
return to the Commission.
Question: How do
I report a new office location?
Answer: A resident broker who is opening a
new office must submit a completed Office
Application form with all necessary documentation for review
of the Commission. A nonresident broker who moves an office
must notify the Commission in writing, providing a current certificate
of licensure from the resident licensing authority displaying
the new office location as well as a list of licensees, their
current wall licenses and a transfer fee payable to the "State
of Delaware" for each license
to be updated and reissued.
Question: How do
I change the name on a license?
Answer: Return the license to the Commission with a written
notice of the change, a copy of the legal documentation identifying
the change (e.g. marriage certificate, divorce decree), and a
maintenance fee payable to the "State of Delaware."
Question: How do
I change the broker of record for an office?
Answer: The broker assuming the title of broker of record
must send a written notice to the Commission identifying the outgoing
and incoming brokers of record.
Question: How do
I change the name of a business?
Answer: The broker of record must notify the Commission
in writing of the change and include a list of all licensees and
their current wall licenses and maintenance fee payable to the "State
of Delaware" for each license to be updated and reissued.
If a resident broker, a copy of a current business license for
the new name or fictitious name filing must be included. If a
nonresident broker, a current certificate of licensure from the
home state's Commission displaying the new name must be included.
Question: How do
I apply for reinstatement of a license?
Answer: Please note that the Commission is under no obligation
to reinstate a lapsed license. As reinstatement is a time sensitive process governed by
the amount of time accrued since the license lapsed. Contact the Commission office to discuss your particular situation. See Application for
Reinstatement of a Delaware Real Estate License.
