There is a new system for getting a real estate salesperson's license in Michigan .  

Step 1. You need to go to  www.michigan.gov/icola and create an account. 

Step 2. Take your prelicense course.

Step 3. Make application for your salesperson license using your Icola account.

Step 4. The broker approves the application

Step 5. Go to  www.psiexams.com print out the registration form and faxing it to PSI with your charge card number or by mailing it with a money order or certified check in the amount of $48.  

Step 6. Schedule your exam at www.psiexams.com  or by calling the 800 number on the fax application. If you do not yet have a broker you may still apply online, however you will not be issued the license until you have signed up with a broker.   For additional information and test locations please see www.psiexams.com PSI has prepared a candidate handbook which you may download and print out.  It contains all of the relevant information for obtaining your Broker or Salespersons exam and license.  Click on: CANDIDATE Information Bulletin

Salesperson candidates, you must complete the Fundamentals Course before you take the test.  Broker candidates, you may sign up for your test whenever you are ready.  The broker license will not, however, be issued until all the requirements are met.

• Free Sample Exams! These are awesome.  Not just Michigan, other states tests are here also. These free 100 question sample Broker and Salesperson Real Estate exams were found at the Michigan E-Library, Be careful as you sign in, if you click on the wrong choice, you will go to a page where they wish to charge you.
