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! 

Matthew

It would be best to get your brokers license in the state you will be doing the most business in. Are you really willing to move simply for that reason?
