Is there a time limit to pass the state exam?
There is not a deadline for taking the exam, but there is a deadline for joining a broker. In New Jersey, you must have passed the state exam, completed your criminal history background check and have joined a broker within one year of your real estate school completion. In Pennsylvania, you must complete the background check and join a broker within three years of passing the state exam.
What is the difference between types of real estate license?
The initial license you will earn is the Salesperson license. You can use that to help clients buy, sell, or lease any type of real estate, from homes to commercial to rentals to time shares. A referral agent is a salesperson who has chosen not to actively work in real estate, but instead to refer business to their broker and simply receive a commission for doing so. Referral agents are absolved from having to take CE classes to renew their license, and from paying membership dues to boards of Realtors and the MLS. Salespersons and referral agents must work for a real estate broker.
