What is one reason a real estate license may not be renewed?

One primary reason a real estate license may not be renewed is if the licensee has not completed the required continuing education. Most states, including West Virginia, mandate that real estate professionals complete a specific number of hours of continuing education courses within a renewal period to ensure they stay updated on industry regulations, practices, and legal requirements. Failing to meet this educational requirement means the license will not be eligible for renewal, as it demonstrates a lack of commitment to professional development and adherence to industry standards. This maintains the integrity of the real estate profession and protects consumers by ensuring that agents are knowledgeable and competent.
