What do I need to know about Continuing Education (CE) requirements for my Maryland Real Estate License?

The Maryland Real Estate Commission, a part of the Maryland Dept. of Labor and Licensing (DLLR), is the governing body that regulates the real estate licensees in our state. You will need to refer to their website to view updated requirements as well as track your license status and completed education. All real estate schools licensed with the Commission submit CE electronically to the DLLR, where you can view your most accurate class transcript.
