Question about Real Estate Brokerage

[Matthew Shultis]

Hello all!

I have a simple question. Are there any states that allow you to get your brokers license with less than 2 years of salesperson experience? I am about to get my salesperson license in Maryland and the state requires a minimum of 3 years of active salesperson experience in order to get my broker's license. I live on the southern boarder of PA and my state also requires 3 years experience. I've looked into states around me and Ohio only requires 2 years of experience. 

I am trying to obtain my brokers license as soon as possible. My plan is to become a broker in a state that allows me to do so the fastest, and then apply for reciprocity in the states around me. Is this possible? Or am I misguided?

Thank you for your time!
