Yes, there are some criteria. You must be 18 years of age or older; must be of good and sound character; and must have a high school diploma, a GED, or pass an equivalency test. |

Maryland Real Estate Commission requires a 60-hour pre-licensing course be successfully completed before licensing can occur.
