Here is a breakdown of the time-frame it will take to obtain your NYS real estate salespersons license:
1) Complete the 75-hour NYS real estate salespersons course (including the proctored final exam): 2 weeks
If you take the 75-hour course online, you can complete the entire course in under 2 weeks.
2) Pass the state exam: 2 weeks
Depending on the availability of your nearest state exam proctoring location, you should be able to reserve a seat within 2 weeks.
Please note, you are allowed to schedule (and take) your state exam while you are still completing the 75-hour course. This will help you save time during the licensing process.
3) Submit your license application and have it approved by the DOS: 2 weeks
You can submit your license application the same day you receive your passing score for the state exam. The DOS will then need up to 2 weeks to approve your application and mail your license to your sponsoring broker.
Total Time: 6 weeks
