After passing the exam, you must also have passed within the 12 months before applying.

What makes Montana real estate law unique?

Montana has several distinctive real estate features: (1) Prior appropriation water rights — water rights are separate from land, follow 'first in time, first in right,' and are administered by DNRC; (2) PLSS land descriptions using townships, ranges, and sections (640 acres/section); (3) Severable mineral rights common in ranch/agricultural properties; (4) Non-judicial foreclosure via trustee's sale is available when deed of trust has power-of-sale clause; (5) Homestead exemption of $350,000 (MCA 70-32-104); (6) Annual license renewal with 12 hours of CE.

What is the Montana Real Estate Recovery Account?

The Montana Real Estate Recovery Account (MCA 37-51-501) provides a fund of last resort for victims who suffer financial loss due to a licensee's fraudulent acts, misrepresentation, deceit, or conversion of trust funds. Claimants must first obtain a court judgment against the licensee and exhaust other collection remedies before making a claim. When the Account pays a claim, the licensee's license is automatically suspended until full repayment with interest is made.
