Ohio and Kentucky Sign MOU to Recognize Real Estate Licenses Across State Lines

The Ohio Real Estate Commission and the Kentucky Real Estate Commission have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that allows real estate professionals licensed in one state to practice in the other without additional licensing hurdles. Under this agreement, each state will recognize the licensing standards of the other, expanding the professional mobility of real estate agents. This MOU is a direct outcome of Ohio’s Senate Bill 131, which was passed during the 134th General Assembly.

The new agreement with Kentucky serves to clarify the law’s intent and reestablish clear license recognition between the two states. READ MORE
