Can I get my New York real estate license if I have a New Jersey real estate license?

New York does not offer real estate license reciprocity with New Jersey. However, the Department of State may waive the 77-hour real estate pre-licensing course requirement if you can show evidence that you have completed the NJ pre-license course. This means you will only have to pass the New York State Real Estate Licensing Exam and apply for your NY Real Estate Salesperson License.
