SALESPERSON LICENSE EXAM
The salesperson licensing process is not affected by the new law. You still only have to pass the 50 question exam.
A licensed salesperson can meet with clients, exchange money and sign contracts on behalf of a licensed builder or company. To obtain a salesperson license, you will need to pass the 50 question exam through PSI Examination Services.
Our salesperson exam preparation course will prepare you thoroughly to pass that exam the first time you take it, GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK.
