The Vermont state licensing exam is administered by the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation (OPR). Initial online applications include the Vermont State Examination and it will be completed during the application process. The state portion is an untimed, open book, paper-based exam with 50 questions.
Find a Sponsoring Broker
To be licensed, you must first be associated with a current and active Vermont real estate Broker. Your sponsoring Broker also needs to complete this form. It's important to find the right Broker to work with since this person will serve as your mentor as you start your new career in real estate. What is their reputation, both locally and nationally? What kind of real estate agents are they looking for? Are they technologically advanced and up-to-date with the latest systems? How do they support their agents with education and training? What kind of commission structure do they offer? Do they offer benefits? Do they provide their agents with leads and marketing material? Is there room to grow with the brokerage?
Complete the Vermont Real Estate Salesperson Application
Once you’ve completed all of the previous steps, you will be ready to complete the application process on the Vermont Office of Profession Regulation (OPR) website. The application process may be started at any time (even before steps 1-4 below), but only after completing all of the previous steps can you successfully complete the application paperwork. Upon submitting the application and providing payment, the OPR will run its final review before approving your licensure. If you have any questions, you can outreach the Vermont real estate office at 802.828.1505.
