Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Minnesota real estate salesperson exam?
The Minnesota real estate salesperson exam has 120 questions: 80 on the national portion (150 minutes) and 40 on the Minnesota state-specific portion (90 minutes), for a total of 4 hours. You must pass each section with a score of 75% — that means at least 60 correct on the national portion and at least 30 correct on the state portion. PSI administers the exam in person at testing centers statewide or via online proctoring.
What education is required for a Minnesota real estate license?
Minnesota requires 90 hours of MN Department of Commerce-approved pre-license education divided into three 30-hour courses. Course I must be completed AND the proctored exam passed before you can schedule the PSI licensing exam. Courses II and III may be completed before or after the exam but must be completed before applying for the license. After passing the exam, you must apply for your license within 12 months, affiliate with a licensed MN broker, and submit a background check.
What are the unique aspects of Minnesota real estate law?
Minnesota's real estate regulation has several unique features: (1) There is no separate Real Estate Commission — the MN Department of Commerce regulates licensees under Chapter 82; (2) Minnesota has a 'facilitator' role (similar to a transaction broker) where an agent provides services without representing either party; (3) Agency disclosure must be given at first substantive contact under Chapter 82.68; (4) Trust accounts must be held at FDIC-insured Minnesota institutions with monthly reconciliation; (5) The Minnesota Human Rights Act (Chapter 363A) adds protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, and receipt of public assistance beyond the federal Fair Housing Act.
What is Minnesota's continuing education requirement for license renewal?
Minnesota real estate licensees must complete 30 hours of CE per 2-year renewal period. At least 15 hours must be completed in the first year of each renewal period. Required topics include at least 1 hour of agency representation and disclosure law, 1 hour of fair housing, and a required module course (3.75 hours/year, topic set by the Department). Licenses are renewed through the Pulse Portal at pulseportal.com.
