Brokerage Location Flexibility

I am currently undergoing my pre-licensing education in order to get my CA real estate license. I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area but I have been considering relocating to the Sacramento area (2-3 hours driving). In the meantime, should I hang my license with a brokerage in my current area and move it to one in the Sacramento area when I move? Or should I hold out until after I'm settled in the new area? How difficult is it to make the switch?

Michael,

It takes about 5 minutes to physically make the switch and can be done online. One thing you could do to make it smoother is to join a company that is in both areas. there are many.
