inactive license on social media
I recently received my RE license, but I had to place my license as inactive status for the next 12 months due to being stationed in Germany. Can I still put RE as a Profession in social media, if so how should I describe it? Or, do I have to be active status with a brokerage to do so? Thanks for anyone’s input.

Talk to a Broker, You still have your licence and ARE a licenced Realtor. I would still use the designation, just ask a Broker the do's and don'ts for your state while on InActive status. Some states allow you to put a licence in inactive status with a Broker and receive commissions on referral.
