Robert is a Michigan licensed real estate salesperson who also holds an active Michigan attorney's license. He wants to know whether his legal continuing education courses can satisfy any portion of his real estate CE requirement. Under LARA-BPL rules, which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

B) His legal CE courses may satisfy the real estate CE requirement only if they cover real estate law topics and are separately approved by LARA-BPL for real estate credit

Under LARA-BPL rules, continuing education hours from another profession do not automatically transfer to satisfy real estate CE requirements. However, if a course covers content relevant to real estate (such as real estate law, contracts, or property transactions) and the course provider has obtained LARA-BPL approval for real estate CE credit, then the hours may count. The key requirement is LARA-BPL approval specifically for real estate CE — not merely that the course is approved for another profession. Robert would need to verify that each legal CE course has been separately approved by LARA-BPL for real estate credit.

Answer Options
A
His legal CE courses automatically satisfy the equivalent real estate CE hours because both professions are regulated by LARA-BPL
B
His legal CE courses may satisfy the real estate CE requirement only if they cover real estate law topics and are separately approved by LARA-BPL for real estate credit
C
Attorneys holding real estate licenses in Michigan are fully exempt from the real estate CE requirement under MCL 339.2517
D
His legal CE courses satisfy up to 9 of the 18 required real estate CE hours automatically, with the remaining 9 hours requiring real estate-specific content
