After passing your licensing exam, you must become associated with a current and active sponsoring broker. This broker will be a career and education mentor providing you with an inside view into the day-to-day operations of a real estate agent.
Here are some questions to consider when searching for the right broker:
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?
Once you have passed the exam, submit the License Application documents provided by Pearson Vue to KREC along with your certificates of completion for the pre-license education, payment of any and all fees, and if applicable, a Nonresident Form and Certification of License History from any state you are currently or formerly licensed in. See the KREK real estate commission website for all up-to-date information.
