When an individual wishes to change their affiliation from one entity to another, when must they notify the Division of Real Estate?

The requirement to notify the Division of Real Estate before the effective date of the change ensures that the regulatory body is aware of any alterations in affiliation ahead of time, allowing them to maintain accurate records and enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining the integrity of the real estate profession and ensuring that all parties involved are operating under a valid and current affiliation.

Notifying before the change enables the Division to take any necessary steps, such as updating licenses or verifying compliance with credentialing requirements, which is crucial for both the individual and the public interest. This process also helps prevent any potential disruptions in the individual's ability to operate in the real estate market.
