How Much Does it Cost to Become a NJ Realtor?

I won’t promise exact figures here as it can change depending on the real estate school you select, the area you are from, the type of Real Estate marketing tactics you select, but you have to factor in a number of fees including, BUT not limited to:

• Pre-licensure course fees
• NJ State Exam Fees
• MLS fees
• Brokerage fees
• NAR fees
• Showing time fees
• Cost of marketing fees (collateral, website, social media, etc.)

In short, to get started, I would suggest you prepare to have about $1,500 in out-of-pocket expenses prepared AND any marketing dollars you are prepared to get leads. If you do this correctly, you will see a return on your investment.
