Here is a potential timeline for how long it could take to obtain your Connecticut real estate salesperson license:
Step 1: Complete the required 60-hour Connecticut Pre-License course.
- Most students choose to take the course online so they can complete the course at their pace.
- An online course can be faster to complete than an in-person class.
- This step can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks, depending on how quickly you complete the course online.
Step 2: Apply for your license.
- You can submit the application as soon as you have your proof of real estate education.
- PSI does not provide an application process time estimate. Expect 3-4 weeks from the date you mail the forms.
Step 3: Schedule and take the state exam.
- After receiving your approval notice in the mail, you can schedule your exam through http://www.psiexams.com or by calling 1-(800)-733-9267.
- The exam appointment can be anywhere from 1-3 weeks out, depending on availability at the testing centers.
Step 4: Activate your license.
- Once you pass the exam, you have two years to activate your license.
- Be hired by a CT licensed broker. This step can take 1-3 months.
- To activate, go online and pay the licensing fee. This step takes less than an hour.
Total Time: 3-5 months
It's possible to have your real estate license within three months. How quickly you earn your license will depend on the time it takes you in completing your course, passing the exam, being hired by a broker, and activating for the license.
