To become a Wisconsin realty agent, you will need to apply for a license. Before you can get your license, there are several requirements.

To get started, you must meet certain educational requirements. Most cases will require you to complete a prelicense course. This is usually taken online or at a classroom. Many schools offer exam preparation courses that will help you prepare and pass the real-estate licensing exam.

After completing the pre-licensing course, you will also have to pass the state's licensing examination. It takes approximately four hours to complete the exam. The exam is split into two sections: the national and state parts. Each section contains between 145 and 150 multiple-choice answers.

After you have passed the Wisconsin prelicense exam, the next step is to apply for your real estate license. You'll have to fill out the form and pay an initial credential payment. You will usually be asked to show proof of your education. A number of approved programs can assist you in this process.

For some, it is beneficial to have both online and in person classes offered by a school. You can choose the time and place that works best for you. Another option is to hire a broker. A broker can assist you in the process, train you, and provide an insider's viewpoint on the industry.

Some real estate brokers specialize in certain types of real estate. You might be interested in commercial or industrial properties. It is important to evaluate the culture and values of the firm before making a decision. Also, consider the split of the commission and reputation in the community.


You will need to complete a number of forms before you can submit your application to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. An background check is also required. Report any past misdemeanors and felonies. But, criminal records you have will not prevent you from getting your license.

A valid license in another country can be used to qualify for an exemption. You will need approval from the DSPS if you are licensed in another state to take the Wisconsin real property license exam.

A 72-hour course is required to obtain your Wisconsin real estate license. This course can be taken online or in-person at many Wisconsin realty schools. After the course is completed, you can sit for the state licensing exam at Pearson VUE's authorized testing center.
