A Maine real estate career begins with the Sales Agent license, the entry-level license designed to help new professionals gain experience under the supervision of a Designated Broker. |
|
| To qualify, you must: | ✔ Complete the 55-hour Sales Agent Course ✔ Pass the course with a score of 75% or higher ✔ Pass the Pearson VUE licensing exam with a score of 75% or higher ✔ Meet Maine's age and education requirements ✔ Pass background check ✔ Submit your application to the Maine Real Estate Commission |
One important fact often surprises new licensees:
The Sales Agent license is valid for two years and cannot be renewed.
This means the Sales Agent license is intended to be a stepping stone toward the Associate Broker license, not a permanent credential.
| Friday Finding: Don't wait until the end of your two-year license period. Start planning your Associate Broker path early. Reference: §13200. Real Estate Sales Agent §13191. General Qualifications |
