Getting Your Real Estate License in New York

To get your Real Estate Salesperson License in NYS you need to:

-Be at least 18 years of age
-You must not have been convicted of a felony
-You must take and pass a 75 Hour Salesperson Qualifying Course
-You must take and pass a separate New York State Licensing Exam
-You must have a sponsoring Real Estate Broker
-You must be a permanent resident of the United State 
Once all these requirements are fulfilled, you then actually apply for your license.  This website only helps you with the coursework.
 
To complete the state parts, you need to go to their website: www.dos.state.ny.us and link to the e-Access system.  On this system you will sign up for a state exam at one of the test sites and pay on line.  You will be able to find out your results within a short period of time and at that point you will also use that e-Access system to apply for your Real Estate Salesperson License.  There are additional fees associated with each of these activities.
