Obtaining Your Real Estate License in the United States

It is not difficult to obtain your real estate license if you know what to expect and the steps you need to take to fulfill the requirements. The steps vary from state to state but usually involve minimum age and education/experience requirements, as well as application and other state specific fees/details.

Most states and provinces require a sales agent to have already received their real estate license before joining a brokerage, while in a few states, a new agent must obtain a sponsoring brokerage prior to pursuing a license. Licensing requirements involve extensive coursework and passing a state exam.
