Commonly Asked Questions on Acquiring a Real Estate License in New Jersey
To obtain a New Jersey real estate salesperson license, an applicant must be at least 18 years old, have a high school education or equivalency, complete a 75-hour pre-licensing course at a state-approved school, pass the state licensing exam, and apply for a license through a sponsoring broker. The New Jersey Real Estate Commission must also be satisfied as to the applicant's honesty, trustworthiness, character, and integrity. Applicants with criminal convictions or who are currently on parole or probation may be denied a license.See the answer for every state
The New Jersey Real Estate Commission does not publish an official end-to-end licensing timeline. The process involves completing a 75-hour prelicensure course, passing the state licensing exam administered by PSI, completing a fingerprint-based background check, and securing a sponsoring broker to submit the license application. Most applicants complete the process within a few months, though the timeline varies based on course pace, exam availability, fingerprinting scheduling, and the time needed to find a sponsoring broker.See the answer for every state
The initial salesperson license fee is $160, and the fingerprint-based background check costs $66.05. Pre-licensing course tuition varies by provider and format, and the state licensing exam requires a separate fee paid to PSI at the time of scheduling. Applicants may also need to budget for exam retakes if they do not pass on the first attempt.See the answer for every state
Can convicted felons get real estate license in New Jersey? All salespersons are required by law to possess good character, trustworthiness, honesty, and integrity. N.J.S.A. 45:15-12.1 specifically prohibits licensure to anyone that has been convicted of forgery, burglary, robbery, any theft offense other than shoplifting, criminal conspiracy to defraud or other like offenses within the 5 (five) years preceding the application for licensure. These may also constitute grounds for denial if the conviction is older than five years if it relates to professional license revocation or shoplifting. After you pass your real estate licensing exam, you will be asked a series of screening questions. It's important that you answer these questions truthfully and disclose at this time any prior criminal activity. You will be asked to sign and certify that your screening questions are accurate and truthful. If the New Jersey Real Estate Commission has any concerns about your qualifications, you will be given a chance to submit a written explanation for your screening question responses.See the answer for every state
