  Before registering to take the broker’s exam, please remember that there is an experience requirement under RSA 331-A:10 that must be satisfied before the commission can process your registration: You must have been employed at least one year full-time, or 2000 hours part-time as a licensed salesperson in this state.

If you don’t specifically satisfy these requirements, but you feel you can prove that you have equivalent experience you can meet with the Commission to request a waiver.

These waivers are very difficult to get but - if you have the experience and can prove it - you should consider contacting the licensing department of the Commission to schedule an appointment.
