The Maryland Real Estate Commission sits at 100 S. Charles Street, Tower I, Baltimore, MD 21201. Phone (410) 230-6200. Walk-in assistance is not available; appointments Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; checks or money order in person. Statute: Business Occupations and Professions Article, Title 17, and COMAR 09.11. PSI delivers the exam under Candidate Information Bulletin 529 (test-takers.psiexams.com/mdre; (855) 744-0318; Updated 8/15/2024; fetched 2026-09-02). The live Licensing FAQs fetched 2026-09-02 are the hour bible: 60-hour prelicensing with an approved provider, then PSI; 135-hour broker course after three consecutive active years with no breaks. A Pennsylvania 75 is a reciprocal product, not that 60.

PSI seats 80 national items in 90 minutes (pass 56) and 30 Maryland items in 30 minutes (pass 21) at $44 per registration. Both portions within 1 year of course completion; apply within one year of passing. Original salesperson $98 includes $20 Guaranty Fund; renewal $78. No fingerprint dollar on the live pages this hub fetched. Inactive affiliation window is 3 years; expired more than 3 years is not a back-fee reinstatement. CE is 15 named hours, completed 30 days before renewal as of October 1, 2024; first-renewal post-October 1, 2023 salespersons sit a contracts/agency/practice grid the subsequent cycle does not use. NAR ethics is not Maryland ethics.

Broker is three consecutive active years immediately prior (inactive, late renewal, or suspension kills the clock), 135 hours, PSI 75 items/80 points/90 min pass 56 + 40/30 min pass 28, credit report, $211 original including $20 GF, and a contact-the-Commission apply step. Associate broker is the same 135 hung under a broker at $143. Virginia's 60, Delaware's 99, and D.C.'s 60 are neighbor comparisons, not Maryland's thesis. This paper cannot be renamed to another state: the school uploads eligibility, the Guaranty Fund is inside the $98, PIFHA is scored, and three consecutive years means three consecutive years.
