NMREC License Renewal Requirements
From the New Mexico Real Estate Commission (NMREC):
“All active and inactive associate brokers and qualifying brokers shall successfully complete thirty (30) credit hours of continuing education in courses approved by the commission during each 3-year licensing cycle.”
Qualifying brokers must also complete a four (4) hour qualifying broker refresher course as a condition of license renewal. The exemption from continuing education for brokers over 65 years of age with 20 years of continuous licensure is no longer applicable unless the broker was already exempt as of July 1, 2011. This change is a part of the Real Estate Broker Licensing legislation, SB 105; for more information about the license law changes, visit the New Mexico Real Estate Commission’s website.
Additionally the New Mexico Real Estate Commission has voted to eliminate the Mandatory Course examination. However, brokers are still required to take the eight (8) hour Mandatory Course (without the examination) every three years as a condition of license renewal.
It is the responsibility of the licensee to maintain his/her education history. However, you may contact the Commercial Association of REALTORS® NM (CARNM) if you would like a 3-year history of courses taken through CARNM and/or the local CCIM chapter. All other education records are maintained by individual course providers and should be contacted directly for education queries.

NMREC New Broker Course Requirements
From the New Mexico Real Estate Commission (NMREC):
The Real Estate Commission Rules regarding completion of the 30-hour New Broker Business Practices course changed effective January 1, 2012. Please read the following carefully to determine which rules apply to you.
Associate brokers licensed for the first time on or after January 1, 2009 have until the end of their first license renewal to complete the New Broker Business Practices course. Associate brokers who upgrade to qualifying broker within their first licensing cycle, or non-resident brokers who were first licensed in New Mexico as qualifying brokers, are not required to complete the course.
The purpose of the course is to provide new associate brokers with the practical knowledge and skills to use their licenses. Because these skills are especially important for newly licensed real estate brokers, the Commission changed the rule to require associate brokers licensed for the first time on or after January 1, 2012 to complete the course within their first year of licensure. Associate brokers and qualifying brokers share responsibility for ensuring compliance with this rule.
This 30-hour course is not offered as frequently as other continuing education courses. Therefore, brokers are advised that waiting until the last minute can and does result in brokers not being able to find the course before their licenses expire. Although brokers can renew expired licenses up to one year after expiration, they are subject to a triple license renewal fee of $810.
