How long is the process of actually becoming an agent after exams
Hello everyone!!! My name is Angel Bonilla and I have recently passed both my state and course real estate exams. I have been looking online and have been unable to find out how long it usually takes for the state to approve a new licensee. I have a sponsoring broker and will be getting my license in New York.
P.S. I’m going to be working in the Westchester real estate market so if anyone wants to connect with me that would be great.

Congrats on getting into the real estate business. Usually within a month you should be good to go. What area of real estate will you be focusing on?
