Final answer:
Not completing post-licensing education for sales associates typically results in the license being void or inactive, preventing the individual from practicing until requirements are met and the license reinstated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on the state, if you’re a newly-licensed real estate agent, you might be required to complete post-license education. Of course, this education requirement is on top of any pre-license courses you may have taken to get your real estate license.
Failure to complete the sales associate post-licensing education requirement within the prescribed time can result in the license being either void or inactive. For most jurisdictions, once the post-licensing education is not completed within the renewal period, the sales associate's license will not be active and, therefore, the individual will not be permitted to practice until the requirement is fulfilled and the license is reinstated.
The specific consequences can vary by state, so it is important to understand the particular rules and regulations that apply in the locale where the sales associate operates.
