Do I need to take the MA state exam if I’m licensed in another state?

No. You have to submit your license application for approval before you can schedule the exam. This package requires your Massachusetts Board of Real Estate Educational Certificate.

Your Massachusetts Board of Real Estate Educational Certificate is valid for two years from the certificate date. Once you are approved to take the exam, it’s recommended you schedule as soon as possible.

After your license application is approved, online scheduling is the easiest and fastest way to set your exam appointment. Go online to www.psiexams.com and create an account. Follow all the instructions to find a test center near you and schedule the exam.

The MA real estate salesperson license exam fee is $85. Approved Veterans, Active Duty, and their spouses can waive the application processing fee, making their exam fee $54. See if you qualify in the Candidate Handbook.

You will directly pay PSI, the state’s exam provider, using a credit card. PSI accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover cards. You can also mail a check, money order, or cashier’s check. All exam fees must be received in advance of the exam.

Online scheduling is the fastest way to register and schedule your exam. You can have an exam appointment in less than an hour by visiting www.psiexams.com.

Test centers are available in Auburn, Boston, Fall River, Lawrence, and West Springfield. You must take the Massachusetts licensing exam inside Massachusetts.

You can apply for your license and receive a waiver for the state exam and the education component. Applications through reciprocity have to be submitted online through the Division Of Professional Licensure ePLACE portal.

You need to make any changes to your state exam date two days before your scheduled appointment, or you will forfeit the exam fee. Call 800-733-9267 to modify your exam appointment.
