Maryland Real Estate License Requirements <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re considering obtaining a real estate license in Maryland, it\u2019s important to know the licensing requirements before you begin the process. According to the General Assembly of Maryland\u2019s Department of Labor, Licensing & Regulation (http:\/\/mgaleg.maryland.gov), which oversees real estate licensing in the state, there are five qualifications for becoming a Real Estate Salesperson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nLicensing applicants should exhibit good character and reputation. A criminal record could prevent someone from obtaining a license due to safety and legal concerns. All applicants must also be at least 18 years old in order to enter into the legal contracts associated with selling real estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThere are certain education requirements associated with licensing. Applicants must complete 60 hours of real estate courses, including a 3-hour course in the ethics involved in real estate. These classes may be taken in a variety of ways including traditional classroom instruction, online, and home study. The State Commission also allows applicants to use the completion of other courses, such as college real estate classes, for the education requirement. In these cases, the coursework must include the 3-hour ethics course. Commission approval is also needed.
\nOnce the personal and education requirements have been met, candidates must pass the state examination to prove they have the knowledge necessary to complete real estate transactions in a legal and ethical manner. There are two parts to the exam \u2013 state and national. The minimum passing score for each section is 70%. There are several locations within the state where applicants can take the test, which is administered by PSI Examination Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe final step in receiving a real estate license from the state of Maryland is to obtain a commitment from a licensed real estate broker promising that he or she will work the applicant once the license has been granted. This ensures the state that the new salesperson will be affiliated with a veteran real estate expert who can mentor the new professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides these stated requirements for licensing, the state also mandates that candidates for licensing adhere to any further regulations developed by the Commission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
