What must a reciprocal broker do to maintain their license?

To maintain their license as a reciprocal broker, passing the reciprocal license examination is essential. In Alabama, reciprocal licensing allows brokers from other states to obtain a license without undergoing the full licensing process, provided they meet certain criteria. One of these criteria typically involves demonstrating knowledge of Alabama's specific real estate laws and practices through an examination. This ensures that the broker is adequately prepared to comply with local regulations and standards.

Other activities, such as completing continuing education, attending monthly commission meetings, or joining a local realtor association, may be beneficial for professional development or networking but are not specifically required to maintain a reciprocal broker's license. The examination is the fundamental step that validates familiarity with state practices and legal requirements, making it the key condition for maintaining licensure through reciprocity.
