Who is responsible for renewing the license of each eligible salesperson associated with them?

The broker is responsible for renewing the license of each eligible salesperson associated with them. In Minnesota, the real estate broker holds the supervisory role in the brokerage and is required to ensure compliance with licensing laws. This includes managing the licensing process for both themselves and any salespersons affiliated with their brokerage.

Salespersons must fulfill certain continuing education requirements and meet eligibility criteria to be able to renew their licenses. However, it is the broker's duty to keep track of these renewals and ensure that all associated salespersons meet the necessary qualifications and deadlines.

While the salesperson is ultimately responsible for completing the requirements for renewal, it is the broker who oversees the process and submits the appropriate documentation to the state’s regulatory body. The commissioner refers to the regulatory authority that oversees licensing but does not engage in the individual renewal process. Similarly, a training officer focuses on the training and development of salespersons rather than managing license renewals.
