The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) will begin conducting random audits of continuing education (CE) credit hours for real estate professionals this month. The audit will cover CE required during the license cycle of November 1, 2012 to October 31, 2015.

Good News!
LARA and Michigan Realtors® have partnered to bring you and your agents a FREE, convenient and easy-to-use tool at your fingertips to help you track your continuing education courses and ensure compliance with the regulations.

Additional Benefit for Brokers:
CE Marketplace was created as a free tool to assist licensees and brokers in tracking continuing education and help to ensure compliance for audit purposes. As a broker, you have the additional benefit of viewing the continuing education status of each of your agents.

What You Should Do:
Visit CE Marketplace today and log in to see which of your agents are keeping their continuing education records updated. It's fast, easy, and FREE! You will need your real estate license number (Permanent ID No) to register, so please have that handy.

This is also a great time to remind your agents to always verify that the completion of any course is recorded. It will help them stay on track for compliance, and reduce their risk of being audited. As a bonus, it will help you know whether they are up-to-date on their education and offering the best possible services to your clients.

For more information about the continuing education requirements, please see MCL 339.2504a.

BETTER PERFORMANCE
 Space heating and cooling account for almost half of a home's energy use, while water heating accounts for 18%, making these some of the largest energy expenses in any home. Programmable thermostats and apps make it easy to control the temperature of your home and save energy and money.
