How can I get my NM real estate license through reciprocity?

New Mexico has a license recognition agreement with Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Georgia. If you are a candidate for reciprocity, you need to contact thomas.baca@state.nm.us.

If you are a licensed real estate professional in Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Georgia, you are a candidate for reciprocity. For your specific licensing steps, contact thomas.baca@state.nm.us.

You can apply for a waiver of 60 of the 90 hours of pre-licensure education and the national section of the state licensing exam. Provide a certified license history from your current licensing jurisdiction that shows you have completed Real Estate Principles and Practice and Real Estate Law or their equivalent.

You must follow all the same steps as a New Mexico resident. This means meeting the 90-hour pre-license education requirement, passing the state licensing exam, carrying E&O insurance, and being hired by a state licensed qualifying broker.
