Connecticut Real Estate License

Below are the basic requirements for obtaining a real estate license in the State of Connecticut

Applicant’s must pay a $40 application fee, before taking their written test. Payment of this fee will allow all applicant’s to take the exam four times within a one year period.
Each applicant for a real estate salesperson’s license shall, before being admitted to such examination, prove to the satisfaction of the commission that the applicant has successfully completed a course approved by the commission in real estate principles and practices consisting of at least sixty classroom hours of study, or that the applicant has equivalent experience or education as determined by the commission.
At the time of application for a real estate salesperson’s license, there will be a fee paid of two hundred twenty-five dollars and for the annual renewal thereof the sum of two hundred twenty-five dollars for as long as you keep your license.
A person licensed in another state as a real estate broker or salesperson may become a real estate broker or real estate salesperson in this state by conforming to all of the provisions that follow. The commission shall recognize a current, valid license issued to a currently practicing, competent real estate broker or real estate salesperson by another state as satisfactorily qualifying the broker or salesperson for a license as a real estate broker or real estate salesperson, provided the laws of the state in which the broker or salesperson is licensed require that applicants for licenses as real estate brokers and real estate salespersons shall establish their competency by written examinations and allow licenses to be issued to residents of the state of Connecticut, without examination, the licensure requirements of such state are substantially similar to or higher than those of this state, and the broker or salesperson has no disciplinary proceeding or unresolved complaint pending against the broker or salesperson. If the applicant is licensed in a state that does not have such requirements, such applicant shall be required to pass the Connecticut portion of the real estate examination.
