I passed the state/national exam to become a licensed real estate broker, so now it looks like all that is left is applying for the license, which I plan to do possibly tonight (I’d be licensing myself as a sole proprietorship, I suppose).

The exam was pretty straightforward, the national “simulation” portion included role-playing scenarios in which you had to follow the situation and know what to ask and whom to ask.  The state portion was 45 multiple choice problems that were all very straightforward, all in all, after taking the courses, I’d say the exams were easy.

Now on to getting the license, there’s quite a few instructions on how to do this, so when I’m more relaxed (and don’t have a headache), I’ll probably begin filling out the forms.  Currently (and rather by the seat of my pants), I’m considering filling out the forms in such a way that it looks like I’d create a sole proprietorship, which seems like a good way to begin, as I could always be hired by another broker (I assume).
