OBTAINING A REAL ESTATE LICENSE

Start your new career towards your first Million dollar deal.

Licensing Process

You must successfully complete a 77-hour New York State-approved course of study and pass a qualifying written examination administered by the Department of State before applying for a license to operate as a real estate salesperson in the state of New York. As proof of successful completion of schooling, you must have the Certification of Satisfactory Completion section of the application completed by the Department of State, approved school coordinator, or the signature of their authorized designee.

As part of your preparation for the real estate licensing examination, Coldwell Banker American Homes offers course sponsorship through the Real Estate School of New York State. This comprehensive 77-hour program, approved by the New York State, equips candidates with the necessary knowledge to pass the exam and excel in the field.

When you have passed the written examination, the passed examination notification must be submitted with your application form and license fee. This can all be done through the designated Department of State website. For a NYS licensed salesperson FAQ, application, and exam procedures, learn more here.
