New license and work rules for timeshare agents

Beginning Jan 1, 2026, a timeshare sales agent is a person with an active timeshare agent license, not a broker. Timeshare agents count as real estate licensees under the law. To get licensed, you must complete at least 14 hours of training, pass the timeshare exam, and be at least 18. The Commissioner requires fingerprints and criminal record checks for initial licensing, and may require them for renewal. Agents may only sell or offer to sell timeshares, must be supervised by a principal broker, and may not hire or supervise other licensees.

New supervision and ownership rules for brokerages

Beginning Jan 1, 2026, when two or more principal brokers share a registered business name, they must sign a written agreement that assigns who supervises which brokers and timeshare agents, with defaults for future licensees. Brokers and timeshare agents tied to a principal broker may own a stake in the business, but may not control or supervise other licensees. If a principal broker’s license is suspended or revoked, associated brokers’ and timeshare agents’ licenses become inactive until transferred; you must request a transfer within 30 days and pay a transfer fee.

No local business tax for agents

Beginning Jan 1, 2026, cities and counties cannot charge a business license tax to a broker or timeshare sales agent who works only as an agent under a principal broker. This removes that local tax for people who act solely as agents.

Fees for timeshare agent licensing

Beginning Jan 1, 2026, licensing fees apply to timeshare agents. Key fees include: up to $75 per exam, $300 to apply, $300 to renew an active license, $150 to renew inactive, $150 late fee, $10 to transfer between business names, and $150 to reactivate. The fee schedule also lists amounts for business name and branch office registrations used by brokerages.

Practice and paperwork rules for timeshare agents

Beginning Jan 1, 2026, a timeshare agent may give a written letter opinion with a suggested timeshare price based on market analysis. The Commissioner sets the required contents and explains how this differs from an appraisal. Timeshare agents are now clearly covered by disciplinary rules for misconduct. They do not have to keep three years of continuing education attendance records; other licensees must.
