Waiting to reinstate a real estate license can seem like an eternity. Many professionals wonder if reinstating a revoked real estate license is even possible. Getting back to work can appear to be an impossible feat. Thankfully, with the right kind of professional license help, you can get back on your feet and return to your real estate career. Here’s what you need to know about reinstating a real estate license.
Reinstatement Wait Time
The California Department of Real Estate (DRE) does not issue suspensions or revocations lightly. They go through a lengthy audit process to review any accusations against their license holders in order to determine potential disciplinary action. These accusations are most commonly related to honesty and compliance. These include falsifying documents, mismanagement of funds, unlicensed activities, and criminal convictions. In the harshest of cases, real estate professionals will lose their licenses. As a result, they must wait at least one year before attempting to reinstate a real estate license.

Before you hit your full-year waiting period, you want to start getting your documentation ready to reinstate your license. You will need to show that you have rehabilitated from the accusations that resulted in your revocation or suspension and how you will prevent that from happening again in the future. Your goal is to prove that you are a trustworthy citizen and will be an upstanding member of the real estate community.
