Step #5 Interviewing Brokerages
The Fun Part
Truth is that you can be interviewing brokerages while taking classes, you just can’t apply for licensing until you have passed the classes and tests. Not all brokerages are created equal, and they all bring something different to the table.

Step #6 Choosing Your Brokerage and Onboarding
The Home Stretch
Once you have chosen a brokerage, they will help you fill out your application to the state and “Onboard You” to the brokerage. This is where you will go over the Independent Contractor agreement and get the Policy and Guidelines, login codes, key fobs for building access, new business cards and more.
Once your License is processed at the State Level, you can join the Local Board of Realtors - Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors (MAAR) or Saint Paul Area Association of Realtors (SPAAR) and our Multiple Listing Service Northstar MLS and get access to Lockboxes and Keys.
