Obtaining your Colorado real estate license is not complex. One key difference between Colorado and other States – Colorado is a single license state. This means we do not have a Salesperson or Broker license as is common in many states. In Colorado, every newly-licensed real estate agent is an Associate Broker. This is a one-size-fits-all license that enables you to conduct any real estate transaction.
If you never had a real estate license, you must complete an approved Colorado real estate licensing course, then pass the state licensing exam.
If you have an inactive or expired Colorado real estate license or a license from another state, you may or may not have an educational requirement. Jump to educational and testing requirements.
