In New York State, to sell, lease or rent someone else's real property for a fee or commission, a license as either a Real Estate Salesperson or a Real Estate Broker is required. A Salesperson may work only under the supervision of a Broker. Anyone wishing to become a licensed Broker must begin as a Salesperson (except a person has at least two years of prior active real estate experience). To become a licensed Salesperson you must take a 75 hour Salesperson licensing qualifying course.

The Ivy Real Estate Education (REAL-ED) licensing course is fully approved by the Department of State. You can obtain a license in as little as 6 days or take as long as six months. Students must complete 45 hours. Upon passing the school test, you will receive a certificate of completion.

These 75 hours of classes are divided into 20 modules of 3 or 4 hours each (M1-M20).
