Are you approaching your two-year real estate license renewal deadline in Tennessee? Staying compliant with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) is crucial to keeping your business moving forward. Missing your hours can lead to hefty fines or, worse, an expired license.
Here is exactly what you need to do to complete your Tennessee real estate continuing education (CE) requirements before your clock runs out.
| Requirement Component | Hours Needed | Details |
| Total CE Hours | 16 Hours | Required every 2-year licensing cycle. |
| TREC Core Course | 6 Hours | Mandatory state-specific course updates. |
| Elective Hours | 10 Hours | Any TREC-approved elective courses. |
| Submission Deadline | Before Expiration | Recommend finishing 10+ days before renewal. |
You cannot just take 16 hours of any random real estate topics. TREC requires every affiliate broker to take a specific 6-hour Core Course during every renewal cycle. This course covers critical updates to Tennessee real estate laws, commission rules, risk reduction, and contemporary industry issues.
The remaining 10 hours can be customized to fit your specific business goals. You can take these hours in a live classroom setting, via interactive webinars, or through self-paced, online distance learning.
