As an NCJAR member, we know that keeping track of your Continuing Education (CE) credits can be overwhelming at times. Many of you have reached out expressing confusion about where and how to check your New Jersey Real Estate CE credits. We’re here to help guide you through the process and ensure you stay calm, informed, and compliant with the upcoming deadline.
How to Check Your NJ CE Credits
Checking your CE status is a simple process! Follow these steps to confirm your completed credits:
-
Visit the NJ Real Estate Commission CE Tracking System: Head to the official website for CE tracking: NJ Real Estate Commission CE Tracking System.
-
Enter Your License Reference Number: This is not your NRDS number. Your License Reference Number can be found on your real estate license, so make sure you have that handy when logging in.
-
Review Your Completed Credits: Once logged in, you’ll be able to view your CE credits and confirm what you’ve completed. Check if there are any outstanding credits, so you can take care of them ahead of the deadline.
Important Reminder:
The current CE cycle (2023-2025) deadline is April 30, 2025. Be sure to confirm your credits before this date to avoid a $200 late fee.

This year’s Fair Housing Month theme from the National Association of REALTORS® emphasizes the role REALTORS® play in "Being the Change"—by confronting bias, fostering inclusion, and leading conversations that move the industry toward greater equity. It’s about education, accountability, and action.

Owning a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your lifetime. But did you know that someone could potentially steal your home—on paper—without you even knowing? It’s called title fraud, and it’s more common than you might think. Here's how it works, who’s most at risk, and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
What Is Title Fraud?
Title fraud, also known as deed theft, happens when a criminal illegally transfers the title of your property to their name using forged documents or fake identification. Once they’ve faked ownership, scammers might try to sell the property, rent it out, or take out loans against it—leaving the real owner at risk of foreclosure or eviction, even if they're still living in the home.
Unlike many common scams that rely on direct contact with the victim, title fraud is often quiet and hard to detect until it’s too late.
