In Maryland, the state requires you to take a 60 hour pre-licensing course and pass a state exam.
The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) has a list of approved education providers on their website.
If you want to do the training on line at your convenience, check out the on-line training at our afflicted vendor, TheCEShop. The CEShop frequently has sales and you can get a discount on their courses. And we have arranged discounts for people who are joining our team.
Or, if you want learn quickly and in person, you would probably like one of the two-week intensive courses that are offered regularly by local real estate offices. The cost of these courses varies by provider.
If you have a real estate license in another state, you may get a waiver of some requirements.
Once you have finished your course, you can take the real estate license exam. It consists of two parts – a national and a state portion. Both sections must be passed with at least 70% of the questions correct. If you only pass one section, you will not have to pass it again for up to a year. You will only need to pass the section that you did not successfully complete on your next attempt.
