The short answer is yes. Regardless of your reasons for becoming licensed, anyone who gets a real estate license in Colorado – who is not already a broker with for at least two years in another state – must work under a brokerage for a minimum of two years. You will be able to do anything a real estate agent can do: buy, sell, etc., you just can’t do it on your own until you pass the two-year mark. The same is true if you are getting your license to work in property management.
