A broker licensed in another state other than Illinois or Indiana and applying for a Wisconsin reciprocal broker license must have satisfied the salesperson education and examination requirements, or be licensed as a salesperson in Wisconsin. If you have met these requirements, you need only complete the broker three (3) hour education course and the broker exam. The broker reciprocity course is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. Those without the prerequisite sales person license need to complete the 13-hour Salesperson Course. The broker exam is administered by Pearson VUE. A copy of your out-of-state broker’s license must be submitted with the Wisconsin license application.

Illinois Transition Courses
Do you hold an Illinois sales or broker real estate license? If yes, please note that Illinois licensing requirements have changed. No longer will there be a salesperson license, but only a broker license for selling/non-managing broker or managing broker. Licensees must transition to a new broker license type by the April 30, 2012 renewal date.
Through a partnership with the lllinois Association of REALTORS®, home study courses for transitioning from a salesperson to broker or broker to managing broker are now available. No transition course is required for licensees holding a broker license who wish to remain selling brokers. However, you must complete 12 hours of Illinois continuing education prior to April 30, 2012.
