In Michigan, you need at least 3 years of experience with a required number of transactions in each, 90 hours of class work (consisting of a 60 hour broker class, 3 hours of fair housing, and 32 hours of law (or equivalent)). Pass the classes and state-test, and pay the required fees.

Good luck.

It's different depending on which State you live and practice in. In NJ, you need to be a full-time agent for 3 years (requiring a 75 hour pre-licensing course and State exam) before you take 150 hour course and then you have to pass the State exam for the Broker's license.

Actually in Michigan you need 3 full years as a real estate sales person before you can get a broker's license.

Here is the State's web site with the licensing requirements.

You must practice as a licensed agent for 2 years,then pass the brokers exam in your state.
