When should I file my license application with the MS Commission?

Before you apply for your Mississippi real estate salesperson license, you must first be at least 18 years of age. Next, you must take 60 hours of pre-licensing education. Once you've met these two requirements, you can submit a salesperson license application.

You will need to print out the salesperson license application. If you live in MS, you will use the resident license application. If you live outside MS, you will use the non-resident salesperson license application. You will submit the application, the license fee, and the supporting materials by mail to the MREC.

No, currently, the Mississippi Real Estate Commission uses a printed mail process. You need to download the appropriate salesperson license application form from their website.

The license application fee is $120 made payable to the Mississippi Real Estate Commission using a personal check, cash, cashier's check, or money order.

Include with your application two photos, one showing a full face and the other a side profile, your real estate education certificate, information from your Mississippi employing broker, supporting documentation to questions 13-21, and a notarization date within the last 60 days.

It is recommended that you submit your salesperson license application after a Mississippi licensed broker has hired you, and you feel ready to take the state licensing exam. Once the Mississippi Real Estate Commission approves your application, you only have two months to take and pass the state exam.

No, Mississippi real estate salesperson license application requests information about your employing broker. Your application will not be approved without evidence you will work under the supervision of a licensed broker.

If you have an inactive license, you cannot engage in any real estate brokerage activities. An active license means you can work as a real estate agent, perform real estate brokerage activities, and be compensated for work as a real estate professional.

Any real estate professionals seeking to inactivate their license must fill out the inactive status address form. You will need to pay a $25 processing fee.

Your Mississippi salesperson license will automatically be issued on active status once you have met all of the steps in the licensing process. Your initial license will not be issued on inactive status.

You need to submit the reactivation of salesperson application to the Mississippi Real Estate Commission. Make sure you include the responsible broker information, or the application will not be processed. Include a $50 processing fee.

Inactive real estate licenses mean that you hold a salesperson license, but you are not legally able to represent buyers or sellers transacting real estate and earn a commission for your efforts. An active license means that you are legally allowed to represent buyers and sellers and earn a commission for your work.

You can search under "find a license" with the Mississippi Real Estate Commission to check on the status of your license. You will appear in the database once your license has been issued.
