Laws enacted by every state governing the activities and requirements of real estate salespeople and brokers. Upon satisfying the necessary age and residency requirements and satisfactorily passing a license examination, a real estate salesperson or broker license is issued to the individual. The license will state the name of the individual. The date when the license was issued and what type of license it is, and often in the case of a real estate salesperson, the business address of the real estate broker with whom the individual is associated.
