Renewal of Expired License

Any person who previously held a real state license (with the exception of a Sales Agent license) in Maine that is lapsed for more than 90 days may reinstate the license by meeting the requirements of MRSA §13193. Upon completion of the requirements, the applicant is eligible to become re-licensed by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation to offer, attempt to conduct or to conduct services on behalf of another for compensation which includes, but is not limited to, listing real estate for sale; promoting the purchase, sale or exchange of real estate; buying, advertising or holding oneself out as offering specific services defined by law and selling or exchanging real estate [reference 32 MRSA Chapter 114 §13001 "Definitions"].

The licensee will be reinstated at the same level as last licensed and must be affiliated with a licensed real estate agency to be eligible to perform brokerage services.
