When a licensed broker changes their place of business, what must they do?

When a licensed broker changes their place of business, it is essential to notify the Hawaii Real Estate Commission within ten days. This requirement is in place to ensure that the Commission has accurate and up-to-date information about where the broker is conducting business. Maintaining current records helps in the administration and regulation of real estate practices in Hawaii, ensuring that brokers are reachable and accountable at their new location.

Notifying the Commission within the specified time frame allows for a smooth transition and ensures compliance with state regulations. This is a procedural step meant to uphold the integrity of the real estate profession and protect consumers by having a clear record of where licensed professionals are operating. It is not necessary to seek approval for the new address or to receive a new license immediately or for a full term, as long as the notification requirement is fulfilled.
