Can I be licensed to sell Real Estate in two different states?

Happens all the time.  I'm in Arkansas and Missouri, I had to take tests in both States, both equally tough.  Yes to Vickie and Laura depends on where you're at.

You have to check the rules of that another state you think of... In some states you don't have to have residency...

Robert,

You can be licensed in more than one state, but you'll need a broker in each of those states to work through. :)

It is possible to do this and it will depend on if it is a connecting state as to how it is done.  Example, it is possible to be an agent in Missouri and Kansas but you do have to have a broker in each locale. I'm in WA State and started looking into getting a license in KS where my mom works as an agent.  I started taking the licensing courses and then ended up deciding that I just wasn't in town enough to make it worthwhile.

Several people in our broker's office have multi-state licenses but they also live part time in each area, such as Seattle and Palm Springs.  Or, WA and CA.  You should check with the state you're considering getting a license in to see if they provide reciprocity and what their licensing requirements are before moving forward.

Since you don't mention the motivation for why you'd do this, it's hard to recommend one way over another.  But, good luck!

Texas does NOT reciprocate so you would have to take all education classes and the exam to become licensed.  Then, find a broker to hang your license at.

We have agents in our office who are licensed in New York and New Jersey.

I am licensed in both Texas (1st) and Florida (recently).  Florida does not recognize/reciprocate with Texas so I did have to take the class (that's right, only one) and the exam (which I was able to take in Austin, TX).  The Florida license was WAY EASIER.  Maybe because of 8 years experience, but the requirements were significantly less as well.

My friend moved back to Kentucky and after almost a year of maintaining a license in AL and KY, he decided it was too darned expensive to pay fees to both states.

Thank you for your letter and cards,,,,,I received them earlier this week. :)  I hope to figure out a way to visit Vegas and meet you and your adorable wife. 

Hi Robert,

I and licensed in my home state, Rhode Island and my neighboring state, Massachusetts,  which is a states that reciprocates, I applied and pay the annual fees. I do need to take my continuing educations courses at the time of license renewal.

I have a resident Georgia license and an non-resident Florida license and I was wondering how I'd go about blogging on ActiveRain in both states?   

Thank you for your response Robert
