Get A Real Estate Sales License In Pennsylvania If You Hold A Sales License In Another StatePolley Associates FAQs, July 2005.An increasing number of individuals who hold real estate salesperson's licenses in other states have contacted Polley Associates to inquire about obtaining a similar license in Pennsylvania. This FAQ (frequently asked questions) page has been created to help address their needs. It consists of four sections: If you hold an out-of-state broker's license, and want to obtain a Pennsylvania broker's license, please click here. Pennsylvania and license reciprocityThe requirements for real estate salesperson licensure in Pennsylvania traditionally are lower than those of most other states, with few exceptions. That's good news for many out-of-staters with real estate salesperson's licenses who want to be licensed as a salesperson in The Keystone State. Moreover, the state of Pennsylvania in December 2003 passed legislation that creates license reciprocity agreements between it and other states. Click here to learn more about reciprocity on the PA State Real Estate Commission website. If you do not qualify for a license by reciprocity, you are best positioned to obtain a salesperson's license in Pennsylvania if the state in which you are already licensed requires a minimum of 60 or more hours of education for its salesperson licensing. If so, you should contact your state's Real Estate Commission, let it know of your intent to be licensed in Pennsylvania, and ask it to issue a certificate or certified letter attesting to your licensure. Normally, you will be required to pay a fee for this service. This certificate or certified letter then gets sent by you directly to Pennsylvania's testing vendor, PSI Examination Services, along with your application to be tested for a Pennsylvania salesperson's license and the appropriate examination fee. The application, fee schedule, and expanded detail in licensing requirements and instructions will be found in PSI's Candidate Information Bulletin, which can be downloaded from its website. Although you have completed as much or more salesperson pre-license education than is needed in Pennsylvania (60 hours), and although you have already passed a written salesperson license exam covering uniform real estate knowledge in your state, you nonetheless will need to score a passing grade (70 or higher) on the 30-question Pennsylvania real estate law exam. The 90-question "uniform knowledge" exam will be waived. Once you pass Pennsylvania's 30-question law test, the PA State Real Estate Commission will grant a license. The timing for this process depends on both the time you take in passing the exam and the commission's work backlog. If a license reciprocity agreement does not exist between Pennsylvania and your state of licensure, your existing non-PA real estate license will not automatically be recognized as valid for use in Pennsylvania. The PA State Real Estate Commission requires proof that you know and are familiar with Pennsylvania real estate license law; hence your need to take the 30-question law test.
