Connected across Utah
Utah agents work across different communities and stages of their careers. Your market and experience help shape our conversation, with personal support by phone and online.
Agents in Park City, Tooele, Heber City, Vernal, Price, Moab, and other Utah communities are welcome to connect. Archival market photographs do not represent James’s offices, listings, local transaction teams, or government endorsements. Neighboring states have separate licensing requirements.

Know who does what
Utah DRE’s current renewal page says RELMS is no longer used for renewals. Its account and affiliation instructions point to MyLicenseOne using UtahID. Check that your existing license is linked to the correct account, and ask DRE for a registration code if the license is missing. Choosing a personal sponsor does not complete a state license or brokerage change.
Check the official licensing guidance ↗Your experience matters
A useful conversation should help you understand your options, not pressure you into a decision.
DRE lists a 12-hour New Agent Course, one three-hour mandatory course, and three additional core or elective hours for first-time active renewal. That is 18 hours total, not 18 plus another 12. Plan approved licensing courses separately from optional Wolf Pack business training.
Explore education checkpoints ↓DRE’s current agent instructions use MyLicenseOne’s Affiliation Change process and the full company license number. The new broker accepts the incoming request before the exiting broker receives the outgoing acknowledgment request. A pending label that begins with Active is not the same as confirmation that the affiliation change is complete.
Use the transition checklist ↓Questions to ask any brokerage
Utah education checkpoints
Use the regulator’s current guidance and your own record. This is a planning overview, not a complete licensing course or a determination of your requirements.
DRE describes 120 hours of approved prelicense education at a certified school. Its page says to pass the Sales Agent Exam within one year of completing the required curriculum and submit the license application within 90 days of passing. Other eligibility, application, and fingerprint requirements also apply; passing an exam alone is not an active license.
Read the official requirements ↗Complete the 12-hour New Agent Course, one three-hour mandatory course chosen from Residential, Commercial, or Property Management, and three more hours of core or elective courses. DRE lists these as the first-renewal 18-hour mix. Confirm your own license history and the approved course record before renewing.
Read the official requirements ↗DRE lists 18 certified CE hours each renewal cycle: at least six hours of core-topic courses, one three-hour mandatory course, and nine additional core or elective hours. Licenses have a two-year term. DRE says to finish CE by the 15th day of the renewal month for on-time renewal, not to wait until the last day to start course reporting.
Read the official requirements ↗Programme access does not automatically mean licensing credit.
Social Agent Academy, AI Agent Accelerator, and Wolf Pack Fundamentals Training are practical group/business learning, not automatically Utah-certified prelicense, New Agent Course, mandatory-course, or CE credit. Check recorded CE in your license account and ask the education provider about reporting errors. Inactive renewal and later activation have separate requirements; do not assume one set of hours satisfies every future renewal.
Official pages reviewed October 19, 2026. Requirements, exceptions, and procedures can change.
Plan before you change affiliation
DRE’s current agent and broker instructions describe a sequence: the agent submits an Affiliation Change request, the incoming broker accepts it, and the exiting broker acknowledges and releases the agent. The instructions describe a return to Active after the outgoing step as confirmation of completion. Coordinate the transition with both brokerages and confirm actual affiliation and authority to work rather than treating an initial submission as complete.
Use the official affiliation guidance ↗These are planning prompts, not conclusions about your agreements, client rights, eligibility, processing time, or permission to practice.
A bigger toolkit and a real connection
Explore joining James’s organization at eXp Realty and connecting to the included Agent Wolf Pack learning.
Sponsored agents receive James’s personal phone number and can reach out for advice, information, and collaboration. Support happens by phone and online when you are outside his local Florida area.
Talk through your goals ↗Social Agent Academy for your brand and content. AI Agent Accelerator for useful workflows. Fundamentals Training for production, communication, leadership, mindset, and community learning.
James can help you find a practical starting point and talk through ideas with you. Optional software subscriptions have separate terms. Your brokerage team handles formal supervision and compliance questions.
Explore the included programmes ↗Clear roles make a better partnership
Confirm the appropriate Utah broker, compliance contacts, and procedures. Sponsor support does not replace brokerage authority.
Ask about eligibility, local mentor availability, assignment, and requirements. Choosing a sponsor does not automatically assign a formal transaction mentor.
Phone and online collaboration, practical guidance, included organization learning, and a real person to begin the conversation with.
Utah agents ask
No. DRE’s first-time active-renewal list totals 18 hours: the 12-hour New Agent Course, one three-hour mandatory course, and three additional core or elective hours. Use approved courses and confirm the requirements for your own license history.
DRE says all CE must be completed by the 15th day of the renewal month to ensure on-time renewal. The license expiration date and online renewal window are separate checkpoints. Verify the recorded courses and renew on time; an expired license does not authorize work.
DRE’s current renewal pages explicitly say RELMS is no longer used for renewals. Follow the current MyLicenseOne and UtahID instructions. Old search results, news articles, or saved RELMS tutorials may not describe the current process.
DRE says to contact the Division for a registration code when the license is not linked. For CE reporting errors, contact the education provider; DRE’s renewal page says the Division does not manually add CE hours. Do not create duplicate accounts or assume a course certificate means the portal record is correct.
Not according to the completion sequence in DRE’s current guides. They describe an incoming-approval stage, then an outgoing-approval stage, and a return to Active after the exiting broker acknowledges the change. Confirm completed affiliation and the proper supervision before working under the new firm.
No. DRE says an inactive licensee does not need CE to renew inactive, but activation requires 18 hours, with the New Agent Course if activating for the first time. Its instructions give activation CE a one-year validity window and say the next renewal still needs its own required CE. Confirm your individual history with DRE.
No automatic equivalence or credit is claimed. Wolf Pack Fundamentals Training is organization/business learning, while DRE’s New Agent Course is a specific approved licensing requirement. Use the official course and provider information for credit.
No such role is offered here. James is based in Florida and provides remote personal sponsor support and included organization learning. Utah brokerage supervision and any formal local mentor assignment must be confirmed through the proper brokerage process.
