Like most industries, real estate agents can be highly specialized in their practice areas. Some real estate agents specialize in listing properties, while others hold expertise in representing aspiring homeowners. Some real estate agents specialize in matching prospective tenants with short-term and long-term rental properties.
What is a real estate agent?
Titles like “real estate agent” and “Realtor” are often used without a second thought, but there are some key differences. All Realtors are licensed real estate agents. However, not all licensed real estate agents are privy to the Realtor title.
Both Realtors and real estate agents are required to obtain a license before they are legally able to practice in their state. These requirements vary by state. In Maryland, candidates must be 18 or older and have a reputation for good character.
Candidates who meet these requirements are then eligible to complete a 60-hour Pre-Licensing salesperson course. Licensed attorneys, candidates with college degrees in real estate, and agents with existing licenses in other states may be able to fast track this step.
At the end of the course, candidates will have to pass a 110-question final exam to be eligible for the Maryland Real Estate Salesperson Exam. Once candidates score 70% or higher, they can apply for their real estate license from the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation.
This multi-step process ensures that all of Maryland’s practicing real estate agents are knowledgeable, qualified, and accountable to their clients’ real estate interests.
