real estate licensing

all states have real estate licensing regulations, and most states require a real estate license in order to practice third-party real estate management. the specific regulations governing real estate licenses vary from state to state and position to position. real estate licensing agencies often require specific education and passing an examination to obtain the license at the outset, plus continuing education to maintain the license.

check with your state’s real estate licensing agency for the licensure requirements in your state.
