Does Minnesota offer reciprocity with other states?
The Minnesota Real Estate Commission offers full reciprocity for active real estate licenseholders and residents of Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. It offers partial reciprocity for Wisconsin license holders, who will need to take a 13-hour special course. Regardless of your reciprocity, you still need to be associated with a Minnesota-licensed real estate broker. They will need to submit your application for a salesperson license.
