In keeping with its efforts toward improved efficiency, the Oregon Real Estate Agency has made e-mail its main method for contacting licensees.
“Starting September 1, 2011, all brokers, principal brokers and property managers must provide an e-mail address to the Agency. Any changes in an e-mail address must be submitted to the Agency within 10 business days. To notify the Agency of your e-mail address, e-mail
orea.info@state.or.us with your licensed name, license number and your e-mail address.
You may also update your e-mail when submitting any forms to the Agency. (Note: When E-License is available, you will update your license records, including e-mail and mailing addresses, online.)
The Agency will email license renewal reminders, the Oregon Real Estate News-Journal, important announcements and more. Licensees who do not have e-mail addresses can sign up for a free service such as
AOL,
Gmail, or
Yahoo.”
Also of Importance:
License applications for real estate brokers, principal real estate brokers and property managers must be submitted to the Agency before any other information.
For example, the first step an applicant for a principal real estate broker license must complete is to submit the application to the Agency and pay the fees. The applicant does not submit a certificate of completion to the Agency for the required Brokerage Administration and Sales Supervision (BASS) course. The education provider will electronically certify that the applicant has completed the BASS course, but the Agency must have the application and fees before the provider certifies course completion.
