Requirements, fees, forms and procedures may change. Verify current requirements with the New Jersey Real Estate Commission and approved education providers before relying on anything here. NextHome Shore Success does not issue licenses.
Budgeting for the process
Plan for education, examination, fingerprinting, application and license fees, association and MLS dues, errors-and-omissions coverage, and business startup costs. We do not publish specific dollar figures here because they change and stale numbers are worse than none — confirm current amounts with each provider.
