Eligibility

To qualify for application to the Commission, you need to have held an Associate Broker license, affiliated with a real estate brokerage agency, for a span of 2 years within the immediate 5 years leading up to your application date. These 2 years of licensure don't have to be consecutive, but they must fall within the 5-year timeframe preceding your application.

Furthermore, you're required to successfully complete the Designated Broker Course, securing a final grade of at least 75%. Your application should be accompanied by the Designated Broker Course Completion Certificate. Remember, this certificate remains valid for a duration of up to 1 year from the date you complete the course.

Lastly, it's worth noting that a licensed real estate broker is eligible to serve as the designated broker for an agency. In this capacity, they assume responsibility for the agency's operations and the conduct of its associates and employees.
