License expiring in NY, but living in PA. How to renew?

[Tim L.]

Hi All,

This is my first post. I've been utilizing the sites resources for some time and have listened to all the podcasts. I was previously an agent in Manhattan, but have been living near Pittsburgh now for two years. My NY license is expiring in a couple of months and I wanted to explore keeping it active. I know I'll probably need to do some continuing ed and pay some fees, but my goal is to move back into real estate at some point and also use the license for scouring the MLS.

I was wondering how folks go about doing this? Do people "park" licenses with firms and pay a monthly fee to them? I believe NY and PA have reciprocity, so that may make the process slightly easier. Any and all suggestions/info is welcome.

Thanks!
