Brokers License Course

• Real Estate Broker applicants must be 20 years of age or older.
• You must have at least two years of experience as a licensed Salesperson. You can begin taking the Broker Course before all the required experience has been accumulated.

• The Broker Course qualifies for your 22.5-hour Continuing Education requirement after the completion of the school exam and 3.75 hours of Fair Housing.
