Education and
License Renewal
Made Easy
A Letter From Your KCRAR President
KCRAR offers a wide variety of continuing education classes, which are
complimentary as a member benefit. While many educational opportunities
at KCRAR are designed to meet license renewal requirements, other nonCE classes are also available to members as a way to keep members upto-date on current industry issues/news, skills and tools important to their
livelihood.

The no-cost CE class option is a tremendous value to our members,
and one that is continually championed by our Board of Directors. As the
methods for learning have evolved, KCRAR has kept the pace along with
them by offering complimentary access to online classes that members
can take from the comfort of their home or office. And it’s not just KCRAR
that offers educational opportunities; whether it is a local, state or national
class, you can always be certain that you’ll come away with something
new that will help you and your business. As a KCRAR member, you have
access to these educational opportunities year-round, but that’s not all. You
also have the vast wealth of information from NAR at your fingertips, up to
and including certification trainings and the option to obtain your Masters
of Real Estate Degree. And, while these options may not be free, the time
and effort you invest in these opportunities will come back to you many-fold.
We all know that continuing education is required for you to keep doing
business. Both Kansas and Missouri require 12 hours of CE every two
years, which includes one mandatory/core class and three elective classes.
These are more than just stodgy requirements that one must mechanically
meet. Each one of these classes is a pathway to self-improvement and
professional development that will help you stand out. After all, If, say, only
one REALTOR® in ten knows how to effectively deal in historical properties,
or is an expert on processing cash flow analysis data for rental properties,
wouldn’t you want to be that one?
If you’d like more information about the classes being offered by KCRAR,
then please visit www.kcrar.com/education-calendar for the dates and
times of specific classes.

A Letter From Your HMLS President
There’s no doubt that continuing education can benefit REALTORS® in
many ways, whether it helps you pick up better sales and marketing tips, or
money management skills that help you build your business.
Continuing education doesn’t just benefit the individual REALTOR®,
however. When real estate associations encourage their members to
engage in continuing education (beyond that which is required, that is to
say), the brokers and the public at large all benefit from a well-trained and
well-educated collection of real estate professionals.
Here at KCRAR and Heartland MLS, the best way for us to encourage
our members and subscribers to continue their education is to offer it at
no charge.
By Janice Lindberg
2016 Heartland MLS Board President
It’s been proven that individual involvement through education can lead to
greater engagement and can encourage individuals to take on leadership
roles within their workforce. With regard to REALTORS®, this can lead to
self-actualization and possibly advance their careers, either within their
brokerages, within the association, or just simply as an individual real
estate professional.
KCRAR and Heartland MLS are proud to continue to offer no-cost CE
courses for members and subscribers, either to expand understanding on
new developments in the real estate sphere, or as in-depth trainings for
systems crucial to your day-to-day business. If you haven’t been taking
advantage of these free educational opportunities, then take a moment to
stop by KCRAR.com and view the events calendar for the full list of KCRAR
and Heartland classes that are available!

What you
should know
about KCRAR
Classes and
License
Renewal
Requirements
KCRAR is committed to helping members in the goal of
obtaining a successful career by building a strong foundation
through education and high ethical standards.
Whether you’re a new member, or a seasoned pro, KCRAR’s
goal is to give you every opportunity to stay on top of your
license requirements, and keep you informed on just about
everything you’d need to stay educated on what’s important
in real estate. After all, a REALTOR® who is better educated is
one who can better meet the needs of their clients and forge
better success.
But staying on top of your licensing requirements can
sometimes be a little nebulous, especially when you have two
different states to wrangle. What follows are some of the more
frequent questions we get regarding KCRAR and Heartland
MLS classes, license renewal requirements, and what to
expect when faced with the lineup of classes available.
What Are my Requirements?
It’s pretty straightforward: both Kansas and Missouri require
12 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years. Both
states require one mandatory/core class and three elective
classes. Each class is three hours long. That’s it!
A good place to start is at KCRAR.com. You can check out
our lineup of classes offered, which is updated monthly. From
there, it’s a simple matter of logging in and registering for a
class, which we’ll cover later.

When do I renew?
Missouri REALTORS®
If you’re licensed in Missouri, then you’re up for renewal this year.
All Missouri REALTORS®, regardless of license issue date, renew in
even-numbered years, which 2016 happens to be one of. Licensees
must have 12 hours of CE completed after 10/1/2016 in order
to renew. For the next renewal in 2018, your required CE credit
hours must be dated after 10/1/2016. Missouri REALTORS® renew in
September of this year.
Missouri brokers operate on a more expedited schedule, as their
CE hours must be dated after 7/1/2014 for this year’s renewal, with
June 2016 having served as their renewal deadline.
However, both brokers and REALTORS® need to have completed
the required three-hour Missouri required course “Missouri Core
Curriculum: Agency and Brokerage Relationships.” This is a class
offered for free right here at KCRAR (though, we just call it the
“Core Class”).
Kansas REALTORS®
If you’re licensed in Kansas, the rules are more involved, but, with a
little explanation, are really simple to understand. Like Missouri, it’s also
a two-year renewal schedule, but the renewal time depends on your
last initial. To find out when yours is, take a peek at the chart to the right.
CE requirements are similar to those for Missouri. All Kansas
REALTORS® and brokers are required to take the “Core Class,” which
is still free at KCRAR for our Kansas members. After that, REALTORS®
would need nine additional hours of elective classes.

For brokers, the Core Class is still a requirement, but they must
also take the “Kansas Broker Required” class, offered here at
KCRAR, again, at no cost. However, instead of nine additional hours
of electives, brokers only require six hours.
CE course completion and license renewal are all due by the last day
of the month immediately preceding the license expiration date. if your
license expires in September of 2016, you must renew your license
no later than August 31st, 2016. If you renew during your expiration
month, you’ll be assessed a $50 fee by the real estate commission.

How do I register for a class?
Easy. Just head over to KCRAR.com and log in to your
account. There, under “Education and Event Registration”
you can register for a KCRAR live class, an HMLS Matrix
Training class (more on those later), or select from a wide
range of online classes.
Do I need to take an
ethics class?
KCRAR CE and non-CE classes are held at our main
offices at 11150 Overbrook Road, Suite 100, nestled right in
Leawood, KS. Our classroom is a dedicated learning space
that’s outfitted with plenty of seats, sound system, coffee,
vending and, most importantly, access to KCRAR staff.
KCRAR offers a regular class that covers, in great
detail, the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. While this class
isn’t required for your license renewal, you do need
to complete this class in order to remain a member of
the Association. Since your license is governed by the
real estate commission, they don’t have a say in your
ethics training. NAR, on the other hand, is the entity
that oversees this requirement. A four-year period
during which members were required to complete their
Code of Ethics training ended on December 31, 2012.
The current 4-year period, 2013 - 2016, will end on
December 31, 2016. That means, if you haven’t taken
your training for this cycle, you’re facing a deadline at the
end of the year! Be sure to check your records and see if
you still need to complete this valuable course.
You Mentioned Online Classes.
Do I get access to those?
Do the classes count for
both states?
Absolutely. KCRAR has partnered with CECheap.com,
a product of Career Education Systems and a leader in
offering online CE to REALTORS®. Normally, online CE would
carry a cost. Fortunately for you, KCRAR is continuing to
offer its members no-cost online CE through the rest of
2016, making this convenience much more accessible.
In short: yes they do! KCRAR’s CE classes have
been certified to meet requirements for both Kansas and
Missouri, so you’ll receive CE credit for each appropriate
state, provided you’ve given KCRAR your license
numbers. Both Real Estate Commissions post on their
websites the classes you’ve attended, too. Just give them
about five business days for these classes to appear.
For a calendar listing of everything available, take a look
at the calendar widget on KCRAR’s home page. Clicking
on “View Full Calendar” will bring you to our monthly view
of everything that’s happening with KCRAR and Heartland
MLS’s, classes and events. Just be advised that both these
options are updated monthly, and are subject to change.
All the online CE classes offered through this avenue count
for toward both Missouri and Kansas CE credit, and includes
the Core Classes alongside a variety of engaging elective
courses.
Best of all, you can print your own certificates once you’re
done, and the appropriate Real Estate Commissions will be
notified of your course completion automatically. Please note
that this can sometimes take up to five business days.
If you complete an online CE course, you may not see it listed
in your records at KCRAR.com. This does not mean you didn’t
get credit… KCRAR’s records simply keep track of classes
you’ve taken in person here in our offices. We will cover more
on the next page.

How do I Find if I have been
given credit for a class?
How can I ensure that I
receive course credit?
If you have access to the Internet, you can check your
current standings.
Keeping your license up to date is extremely important,
and KCRAR is committed to keeping accurate records
of your class attendance. We’ll be sure to record each
class you take here at our offices, but we also need you
to ensure your information is as up-to-date as possible.
This includes your license number(s), as well as your
home address, contact information and more.
Each and every CE class you complete, regardless
of the class or where you took it, is updated on the
website for each state’s Real Estate Commission.
This is a tremendous convenience, especially since
KCRAR’s records will only display the classes you’ve
taken at our offices—online classes may not show up.
Due to this, it’s always best to check your state Real
Estate Commission’s website for the most up-to-date
information. Despite this, however, it’s always a good
idea to hang on to your completion certificates.
Want to know where to go to check this information?
For Kansas, visit www.krec.ks.gov, and sign in with
your license number and last four digits of your SSN.
For Missouri, visit www.pr.mo.gov/realestate.asp. From
there, click on MREC Licensee Search to find yourself.
Their home page shows a whole section on instructions on
how to look up your records, and some troubleshooting tips
in case you can’t find what you’re looking for.
Who can I speak with
regarding questions about
registering for a KCRAR
class?
You can contact KCRAR’s Education Registrar Sherry
Young any time during normal business hours at 913266-5930, or at SherryY@kcrar.com.
The good news is that you can update your information
online. Just log in to your account at KCRAR.com and click
on “Personal Information” under the Membership Record
heading. Bear in mind that if you have two licenses, we
need both of those numbers in order to give credit and
report to the appropriate Real Estate Commissions.
Have you heard about our
Heartland MLS Classes?
Chances are you’ve already taken the Matrix Orientation
course that Heartland MLS provides, but did you know
that there are so many more classes that they offer?

Are Your Ready To Rock The Block?
On Wednesday, September 21st, KCRAR is partnering
with Habitat for Humanity KC to “Rock the Block”. This one
day event will be the largest of its kind in Kansas City and
will provide our REALTOR® members from across the metro
the opportunity to make significant contributions of time,
money, and talent to benefit Habitat for Humanity KC and
revitalize our city one neighborhood at a time. To make this
goal a reality, we need your help!
Habitat for Humanity KC “Rock the Block” program
provides families in need of home repair such as exterior
painting, accessibility assistance, landscaping or other
minor exterior repairs. “Rock the Block” helps homeowners
impacted by age, disability and family issues that may keep
them from being able to properly maintain or repair their
homes. Homeowners are interviewed and chosen based on
income, need and willingness to participate.
Each home will need about 30 team members to assist
that day. All members of KCRAR are welcome to participate,
and smaller offices or individuals can certainly combine with
others to adopt a home. But the day won’t be all work and
no play. The event will also feature great food, music, games
and contests, and lots of media coverage and recognition
for your team!
This is a great opportunity for us as REALTORS® to help
protect the American Dream of Homeownership.
Please consider adopting a home and help us “Rock the
Block” on September 21st.

JULY BLING BONANZA
Ahh!-larm Personal Alarm $22.00
Nobody says personal safety can’t be fabulous. This deceptive little number will charm passersby with its besparkled, heart-shaped cuteness, but, make no mistake—this decoration is no
pushover. If you’re in a jam, just push the red panic button on the side and unleash the full fury
of a 120-decibel siren that will alarm and disorient anyone foolhardy enough to come incorrect.
This handy charm comes in black, gold or pink, and looks great either on keychains, backpacks
or triumphant selfies taken as would-be perpetrators flee back into the inky shadows of the night.
BlingSting Pepper Spray $22.00
All that glitters is not gold. We all know the saying, but never has it been more true than in
describing this perfectly adorable personal protection unit. Indeed, this keychain may glitter
like diamonds dipped in liquid sunlight, but instead of gold, it contains pure, condensed anger.
The pepper spray within measures up to 2 million Scoville Heat Units, making it powerful
enough to instantly incapacitate assailants who maybe needed to think twice. Rest assured,
the glitter of the rhinestones may very well be the last thing any attacker sees.
REALTOR® Logo Branded Purse Charm $10.99
A sizeable lobster-clawed clip-on decoration proudly displaying the REALTOR® logo, this
gorgeous gold-tone accessory doesn’t add much by way of direct personnel repellant to your
ensemble, but it will add considerable class and distinction to any purse, keychain or laptop
bag you may carry with you.
