Montana Board of Realty Regulation is the authority. Its site, boards.bsd.dli.mt.gov, carries the current candidate handbook, approved education list, and application. Hours, fees and requirements change; the commission's version is the one that counts.
The path in Montana
- Pull the candidate handbook from the commission above; it names the education hours, the application steps.
- Complete pre-licensing education with an approved provider.
- Pass the exam, administered by Pearson VUE: typically a national portion plus the state-law portion that catches candidates who studied only national material. The exam guide covers how to split your prep.
- Choose your sponsoring brokerage deliberately: the questions to ask matter more than the recruiting pitch.
- Before any of it, read the honest decision guide. The license is easy; the career is the decision.
