MN COMMERCE DEPT. SPEAKS ON CLOSER LICENSING
Many of you have contacted me as to whether any of the classes you have taken from me in title exam, abstracting, or legal descriptions qualify for the Closers License. They apparently do not. So, I am putting together a class to meet the commerce department requirements. Please contact me with questions. My understanding is that the state requires all closers to hold a closers license.
FYI, Here is the response from Commerce regarding closer licensing classes:
“Jeanne,
To obtain a Minnesota Real Estate Closing Agent License, an individual must submit proof of completing a course approved by the Minnesota Department of Commerce for either real estate pre-license education or real estate continuing education which covers at least 8 hours of subject matter relating to real estate closing.
Real estate closing is a topic which is covered in the real estate pre-license education courses required to be completed in order to obtain a Minnesota Real Estate Broker or Salesperson License. Therefore, a copy of a Minnesota Real Estate Broker or Salesperson License will also be acceptable as proof of the completion of the required 8 hours of real estate closing education.
