WA Real Estate License Questions

Jakeb Shelton

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but here goes.

So I'm originally from Cali, but as of late my family has been talking about moving to WA, specifically around Vancouver. My question is if I wanted to get my RE license would I be able to get my WA license while living in CA? Do I have to be a resident in WA to get my RE license? I've seen some RE courses and it's not to bad a price. Also I know you have to hang your license under a broker, or broker manager in WA.

Does anyone have any insight into a good, cheap broker to hang my license? What is the best way to go about this?

I plan on holding off on investing until I know I'm moving to WA, and just saving. I'm looking into finding a house for my family, and a duplex/triplex/quadplex to manage/live in.

P.S. This is a 2 year plan and not one hundred percent set in motion yet.

Thanks for any feedback!!!

I am not sure about applying for the license but you could definitely take the classes online to at least be ready to apply for a license when you move. Becaue you don't apply for the licence until you pass your test and you results are good for a year.
