What is the cost of a Hawaii real estate continuing education provider bond?

This bond amount varies according to the scope of the real estate service based on the maximum number of students permitted in a classroom multiplied by the advance deposit charged per student, multiplied by the maximum number of courses held at any one time during the school’s first year. In no case can the amount be less than $1,000. Underwriting is required to determine your bond rate. This involves a review of your credit report.

Why do I need a real estate continuing education provider bond in Hawaii?

Real estate continuing education providers must file a surety bond before they can provide legal real estate instruction. Obtaining a real estate continuing education provider bond is a required step for becoming licensed through the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Real estate school bonds help protect real estate brokers and salespersons from fraudulent or unlawful business services on behalf of their instructors. Should the school or instructor violate a provision outlined in Chapter 467 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes or Title 16, Chapter 99 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules, this bond can be subject to a valid claim filed by the obligee. Violations include:

operating without a valid certificate of registration
failing to provide the required continuing education hours
offering courses that do not adhere to the commission-approved curriculum
certifying students who have not satisfied the required number of hours or passed the final examination
failing to be available for student assistance

A detailed list of the requirements and violations for real estate continuing education providers can be found in Chapter 467 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

In the event of a valid claim, the surety must cover the losses and damages incurred by the obligee. The principal then must repay the surety in a timely manner.

Additional considerations for real estate continuing education providers

This is a biennial bond, meaning that bondholders must renew this bond before December 31 of even-numbered years if they wish to continue running a real estate school. In the event of cancellation, the surety must provide the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs with 30 days' written notice of cancellation. During these 30 days, the surety remains liable for any claims filed against the bond.

A school shall not offer courses for the fulfillment of the educational requirement for a real estate license unless it first registers at least 90 days prior to the opening date of the school, allowing 45 days for application processing.
