Do you drool over house and condo listings, or find yourself saying “I can do that!” any time you watch real estate shows on TV? Then a career in real estate might be for you! The first step to becoming a licensed Real Estate Salesperson in MA is to take Host Group Real Estate Academy’s 40-hour pre-licensing class.

 

Price: $299, includes 40 hours of live instruction along with a textbook, sample exams/quizzes, and course supplements. Advanced registration is required and seats are available on a first come, first serve basis.

If you purchased a LivingSocial voucher for this class, the promotional value was valid for classes taking place through January 13, 2013; the paid value ($149) does not expire. To register for a class: Review the schedule to the right, select your session, click the orange "Register Now" button, then enter your personal information and the promo code from your voucher (please refer to the code in step #6 that begins with "LS00..."). This will deduct $149 from the price of the class and you will have to pay the difference then email us a PDF of your voucher. Email us if you have any questions.

 

The first step to become licensed as a salesperson is to complete forty hours of education at any one of the Board-approved real estate schools (Host Group is an approved MA Real Estate School - Code 1230).

Once your education is complete the school will provide you with a "Candidate Handbook" which will contain verification of your completed education, as well as instructions to make an appointment to take the salesperson examination with the Board's test administrator, Pearson Vue Exam (a fee of $101 must be paid directly to Pearson Vue). All information needed to take the examination will be contained in the Candidate Handbook. Upon passing the examination, a licensing fee of $103-$150 must be paid to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then you will immediately be issued a 2-year salesperson license.
