What are the steps involved in applying for a
salesperson license online?
Step 1: Log in to your established account.
Step 2: Enter required information.
Step 3: Select sponsoring broker by entering their
Step 4: Unique ID number
The application will remain in the in-box of your sponsoring
broker until the broker approves your application as a new hire.
Upon broker approval, your license will be generated
by Licensing that week and mailed to the office location
indicated on your application.
Why do I need to provide my e-mail address on
the application?
In order to perform online transactions, you must provide your
current email address on the top portion of page 4 of the
application. Your email address will be used by our office to
establish your online account. If you have already established an
account by signing up to take the state examination, it is
important that you utilize the same email address. If you change
your email address in the future, you must log in to your account
and update it with the new email address.
If you are submitting an application to our office, you should
indicate if your email address has changed since taking the
examination.
What is my User ID for the real estate online
system and how do I update my online account
information?
The email address of a licensee is the User ID for each online
account in the real estate online system. Each User ID must be
unique, therefore, you will not be able to share an email address
with anyone else in the system. If you have not already
established an account, your password will be emailed to you
upon approval of your application by our office. You will utilize
your User ID (email address), along with this temporary assigned
password, to access your online account and change your
password.
Do I need to be terminated by a broker who I no
longer work for?
Yes, in accordance with statute, brokers are required to terminate
all salespersons who are no longer working for them. All
terminations must be completed by the broker through the online
real estate system. The principal broker for the salesperson must
log in to their personal online real estate account to perform the
transaction.
Once licensed, how do I change my association
from one broker to another?
All change of associations must be completed through the
online system. If you have been previously working for another
company, the first step is to ensure that the previous broker has
already performed a termination on you. Once the termination is
complete, your new representative broker should log in to their
own personal online real estate account and complete the
appropriate online transaction to associate you with their
company. Your new broker will need your license number in
order to perform the transaction
.
