A salesperson must be employed by a Wisconsin licensed broker. The initial application contains a section that is to be completed by a broker if the applicant has a prospective broker-employer. If the license is issued without registering a broker-employer on the initial application, the applicant will not be able to operate as a salesperson until submitting a Notice of Real Estate Employment Form. The form will be sent with the license so that the new licensee will be able to register the name of the broker-employer. The licensee can only be paid referral fees when not registered under a broker.
5) Your License will be Mailed Directly to your Broker within 5-60 days
(State can take up to 60 days to review application, but average is 5 days).
