WI Real Estate Licensing

If you’re planning to become a Wisconsin real estate broker, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is, “How long will it take to get my Wisconsin real estate broker license?”

The answer depends on where you are in your real estate career.

Unlike a salesperson license, becoming a broker requires both additional education and qualifying real estate experience.

If You’re Already Close to Meeting the Experience Requirement
Many salespeople begin their broker pre-license course while they’re finishing the required experience. Wisconsin requires you to have held an active salesperson license for at least two years within the previous four years while working under the supervision of a licensed broker, along with enough qualifying transactions to meet the state’s experience requirement.

If you’re only a few months away from meeting those requirements, you can often complete the broker course and pass the state exam before you’re eligible to apply. Then, once your experience requirement is satisfied, you’ll be ready to submit your application.

If You Still Need More Experience
If you recently became licensed as a salesperson, your first priority should be building experience. During that time you’ll be working with buyers and sellers, learning the business, and documenting qualifying transactions for your future broker application.

Many future brokers choose to begin the broker pre-license course while they’re finishing the required experience so they’re ready to apply as soon as they become eligible.

After You Complete the Broker Course
Once you’ve completed the state-approved broker pre-license course, you’ll take the Wisconsin broker licensing exam administered by Pearson Professional Assessments.

After passing the exam and meeting the experience requirements, you’ll submit your broker license application through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).
