"What do I need to do to become licensed as
a real estate salesperson or broker in Massachusetts?"
To become
licensed as a salesperson or broker in Massachusetts you must complete
the requisite education, pass the relevant examination and complete the
appropriate licensing application.
At the outset
you must become licensed as a salesperson before you can become a
broker. To become licensed as a salesperson you must complete
twenty-four hours of classroom
education at any one of the Massachusetts
Licensing Board Approved Real
Estate Schools. The school must follow the state approved syllabus.
Do not
be misled by online ads. There are NO ONLINE CLASSES approved
by Massachusetts for the Salesperson or Brokers Pre-Licensing
Examinations or for Continuing Education .
Once
your education is complete the school will provide you with a "Real
Estate Candidate Handbook" which will contain verification of your
completed education and information to make an appointment to take the
salesperson examination. Examinations are offered twice daily Tuesday
through Saturday in Boston and on Saturday’s at other sites in
Massachusetts. All information to take the examination will be
contained in the Candidate Handbook. Upon passing the examination you
will be licensed at the test center. (LAW
STUDENTS, see

Those Salespersons who seek licensure as Brokers
follow the same practice outlined for salespersons above. There are,
however, two differences. First, those Salespeople seeking licensure as
a Broker must work full time (25 hours per week minimum) for a Broker
for at
least one year before they can move on to licensure as brokers (the
work experience must either be current or completed no more than two
years prior to the time of broker examination and licensure).
And, Second they must complete an addtional thirty
hours of classroom instuction at a Board approved real estate
school (that is in addition to the twenty-four hour salesperson
education.
