What Are the Requirements to Become a Wisconsin Real Estate Broker?

If you’re ready to take the next step in your real estate career, becoming a Wisconsin real estate broker gives you additional opportunities and responsibilities. While the process is similar to obtaining a salesperson license, there are a few additional requirements you’ll need to meet.

In most cases, there are four basic steps.

1. Complete a Wisconsin broker pre-license course.
Before you can apply for your Wisconsin real estate broker license, you’ll need to complete a state-approved broker pre-license course. The course prepares you for both the broker licensing exam and the additional responsibilities of becoming a broker.

2. Meet the experience requirement.
Before applying for a broker license, you’ll need to meet Wisconsin’s salesperson experience requirement. In general, this means:

  • Holding an active Wisconsin salesperson license for at least two years within the previous four years while working under the supervision of a licensed broker.
  • Documenting enough qualifying real estate transactions to satisfy the state’s experience requirement.

3. Pass the Wisconsin broker licensing exam.
After completing your broker pre-license course, you’ll take the Wisconsin broker licensing exam administered by Pearson Professional Assessments. Once you pass the exam, you’re ready for the final step.

4. Apply for your Wisconsin real estate broker license.
After passing the exam, you’ll submit your broker license application through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Once your application is approved, you’ll receive your Wisconsin real estate broker license.

Becoming a broker takes time and experience, but the process is straightforward when you take it one step at a time. Meet the experience requirement, complete your broker pre-license course, pass the exam, and apply for your broker license.
