Annual Cost for License in MA

[Account Closed]

Hi All, looking for some clarification for how much a RE Salesperson License costs in MA per year. I've heard anywhere from $500-$1500.

I'm serious enough about RE that I want to be my own agent to save the percent or two on future properties, but I won't be ready to buy another one for a while. I'm enrolled in classes for the license but am not sure if I should get it ASAP or just get it when I am next ready to buy. Additionally, I'm not sure if the 40 hours of coursework that I will have completed would ever expire or not.

Sorry to use BP as a glorified Google here, but I couldn't find much about this on my own.
