To become a real estate agent in Maryland, you must first get your Maryland real estate license. The process of getting your real estate license generally takes a few months and includes the following steps:

Check Maryland salesperson eligibility

Under the Maryland salesperson eligibility requirements, applicants must be at least 18 years old and meet the Maryland Real Estate Commission’s standards for good character and reputation.

Complete 60 hours of approved pre-licensing education

To meet the Maryland real estate license requirements, complete a Commission-approved 60-hour salesperson pre-licensing course. Colibri offers online study options that let you complete the required coursework while preparing for the licensing exam.

Pass your pre-licensing course final exam

After completing the 60-hour course, pass the school’s required final exam. This is separate from the Maryland salesperson licensing exam administered by PSI. Confirm course-final passing and proctoring instructions with your school.

Pass the Maryland real estate licensing exam

Schedule your Maryland real estate licensing exam through PSI after your education is reported and you are eligible to test. The computer-based salesperson exam has national and Maryland portions, with a minimum passing score of 70% on each. The state lists a $44 exam fee and a two-hour testing period. You must pass both portions before you can apply for the license.

Apply for your Maryland salesperson license

After passing both exam portions, watch for the Commission’s email with your registration number and online application instructions. Apply within one year of passing both portions. The Commission’s salesperson licensing fees and application information list an original license fee of $98, including the guaranty-fund payment, effective April 27, 2026. Fees may change.

Find a sponsoring broker and activate your license 

To practice real estate, affiliate with a Maryland-licensed broker. If your license is issued inactive, you cannot conduct licensed real estate activity until you meet the Commission’s activation requirements and are affiliated with a broker.

FAQs

What is Pass or Don’t Pay Guarantee?

If a student does not pass the Maryland real estate license exam within 30 days of completing the exam prep course, we’ll reimburse the original cost of either your pre-licensing package or the exclusive exam prep you purchased.* For reimbursement, email us at [email protected] with a copy of your exam results, including the date of the exams, within 30 days of the failed exam attempt.  

*Specific state laws or regulations prohibit some students from qualifying. For example, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and New Jersey do not permit guarantees to passing the real estate licensing exam. 

How much does a real estate license cost in Maryland?

Maryland charges $98 for the original salesperson license (including its guaranty-fund contribution) and PSI lists a $44 examination fee. That is $142 in state license and exam fees, before pre-licensing tuition, optional exam prep, and any retakes. Course prices vary by package and promotion. See the current package pricing above. 

What is the duration of a real estate license course in Maryland?

Maryland requires 60 hours of approved salesperson pre-licensing education. How long it takes to finish depends on your course format, study schedule, and the time needed to pass the final exam. 

Can you attend real estate pre-licensing classes online in Maryland?

Yes, you can! Colibri offers students or licensees to attend classes and complete their pre-licensing course fully online with livestream and flexible self-paced packages.

Does Maryland offer real estate license reciprocity?

Yes. Maryland has reciprocal licensing agreements with Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, subject to specific eligibility and application requirements. Active licensees from other states may be eligible for out-of-state license recognition instead. Review the Maryland Real Estate Commission’s reciprocal licensing and license recognition guidance. 

Can you take the Maryland real estate exam without classes?

No, you cannot take the exam without completing your real estate pre-licensing course in Maryland.

How long does it take to get a Maryland real estate license?


It varies per person on how long it takes to get a Maryland real estate license depending on the pace in which you complete your pre-licensing education, pass your licensing examination, the time it takes you to find a sponsoring broker and complete the application process, and application processing times. Some candidates complete the process within six months.

What are the requirements to get a real estate license in Maryland?

To get your real estate license in Maryland you must be at least 18 years old and possess good character and reputation, complete the approved 60 hours of Maryland real estate pre-license education, pass the Salesperson licensing examination by achieving a score of 70% or higher, and apply for your Maryland Salesperson license. Also, you must obtain sponsorship from a licensed Maryland real estate broker. 

Read more about the Maryland real estate license requirements.

Do I need fingerprinting or a background check for a Maryland real estate salesperson license?

Maryland’s published salesperson licensing steps do not list routine fingerprinting as a separate universal step. Applicants must meet the Commission’s character and reputation standards and answer any required application disclosure questions. Review the current Maryland licensing application for your circumstances. 

What happens after I pass the Maryland real estate exam? 

Once you pass both the national and state portions, the Maryland Real Estate Commission will email application instructions and your registration number. Submit your online application within one year of passing both portions, and affiliate with a Maryland-licensed broker before practicing.
