"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 first become licensed as a salesperson before you can become a
broker. To become licensed as a salesperson you
will complete
forty hours(effective June 1, 2011) of classroom
education at a Massachusetts
Licensing Board Approved Real
Estate Schools such as Annex Real Estate School.. Your school
must follow the state approved syllabus. You must take and
pass your examination within 24 months (2 years) of completing your
classroom instruction. You must also
be a) at least 18 years old, b) have a valid Social Security number c)
be a person of good moral charactor.( You will need 3 persons to
verify that they know you and attest to this fact. )
Do not
be misled by online ads. There are NO ONLINE
CLASSES approved by Massachusetts for the Salesperson or
Brokers
Pre-Licensing Examinations. You must be in
a LIVE, in-person classroom setting with your Massachusetts
instructor at an Approved location.
Once
your education is completed at Annex Real Estate School,
you will
be provided with the authorized Real
Estate Candidate Handbook. This Handbook will
contain
verification of your
completed education and information on how to make
your appointment and other information about the
state's real estate salesperson examination. This information
will be reviewed with you by your instructor at Annex Real
Estate School
upon competion of your classroom hours. The
Examinations
are offered frequently at Massachusetts state testing centers
in Boston and at other locations in
Massachusetts. . Upon passing the two parts
of the
examination, the General and
Massachusetts portions, you
will be licensed at the test center.
As
a
licensed Massachusets Real Estate Salesperson, you will be eligible to
apply for an interview at our affiliated real estate office Century21 Annex Realty.
Those licensed Real Estate Salespersons who seek
licensure as
Brokers
follow a practice similar to the one 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 three years before they can move on to licensure as a
broker (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
forty
hours of classroom instuction at a Board approved real estate
school..
