During the Education Development Committee meeting on December 8, 2010 a motion was made and approved to dissolve the MRE designation based on NAR creating a Master’s degree program through REALTOR® University. Current MRE applicants will have until December 31, 2011 to complete the 90 hour requirement online through www.Vaned.com. Education Staff will be sending out a letter of notification to all current MRE applicants explaining the decision and the steps they need to take to complete the MRE by the deadline.
In addition, the committee approved to rename the MRE at a later time to avoid any confusion with NAR’s Master’s Degree. Once the name is changed and all MRE designees are on file, Education staff will send out new certificates and lapel pins reflecting the new name of the designation. As always, please do not hesitate to contact Lisa Godbehere and Erica Saufley of the Education Division with any questions or concerns.
