New Jersey

The New Jersey Real Estate Commission sits inside the Department of Banking and Insurance at 20 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08625 (PO Box 328 Education / PO Box 474 Licensing). Phone (609) 292-7272. Website dobi.nj.gov. Email relic@dobi.nj.gov. Statute: N.J.S.A. 45:15-1 et seq. and N.J.A.C. 11:5. PSI delivers the exam under the Salesperson, Broker and Instructor Candidate Information Bulletin (test-takers.psiexams.com/njre, (855) 579-4634, bulletin 1667, fetched 2026-09-02). The live Requirements for Licensure page fetched 2026-09-02 is the hour bible: 75-hour prelicensure course at a licensed school for salesperson; 150 hours for broker as a 90-hour general course FIRST plus two 30-hour courses on Agency/Ethics and Office Management, plus three years full-time as a New Jersey salesperson. New Jersey does not have reciprocity with any state. A Pennsylvania 75 is not that 75.

PSI seats a unified 110-item salesperson paper in 4 hours at 70% (77 correct), $38, 5–10 experimental items counting against time. Fail and you sit the whole 110 again. The school imports eligibility; it expires one year from the course, and you must pass AND apply before that date. IDEMIA Live Scan is $66.05 after you pass (Universal Form IDG_NJAPP_051719_V1). The $160 cart is $100 + $50 + $10 Guaranty Fund, payable to the State Treasurer, no personal checks, never mailed to PSI. Two-year CE term: 12 hours including 2 ethics, 1 Fair Housing & NJ Law Against Discrimination, and 1 agency.

Broker is 90 general first, then the two 30s, then a $25 experience-approval filing, then PSI 115 questions / 120 points / 4 hours at 70% (84 correct). $270 cart ($200+$50+$20 Guaranty Fund). New York's 77, Pennsylvania's reciprocal 75, and Delaware's 99 are neighbor comparisons, not New Jersey's thesis. This paper cannot be renamed to another state: there is no reciprocity, the sitting is unified not split, and Pinelands, Mount Laurel, attorney review, and the Realty Transfer Fee are scored items.
