Question for agents/brokers regarding licensing.
Hello. What's the different between Associate Broker, Independent Level, and Employing Level? I'm looking at the Licence Reciprocity guide on the Colorado website and they list Associate Broker if you have less than 2 years experience in your current state and independent and Employing Level if you are experienced for 2+ years.
I'm a licensed broker in the state of California, which i'm 99% sure is equivalent to Employing Broker in Colorado. Based on the requirements, i'm eligible for the Employing Broker license but it doesn't clarify if I need to have a brokerage in California for 2+ to be eligible or if having the Broker license is enough. At the moment my broker license hangs with another broker. Inquiry has been sent out to the Co Division of RE but I was wondering if anyone has input on this.
