How often does a Broker need to renew their license?

In West Virginia, a broker is required to renew their license every two years. This renewal process is essential to ensure that brokers remain updated on the latest laws and practices in real estate, maintaining their professional standards and knowledge. This biennial renewal helps to uphold the integrity of the profession and ensures that all brokers can effectively serve their clients.

The annual renewal option may seem appealing, but it does not align with state regulations that aim for a balance between oversight and practical business operations. Similar to other professional licenses, this two-year cycle offers ample time for brokers to complete required continuing education and maintain their licensure without the burden of annual renewals.
