Frequently Asked Questions

What licence classes exist under NSW Fair Trading?

NSW Fair Trading issues Class 1 (unrestricted) and Class 2 (restricted) licences. A Class 1 licence allows you to operate a real estate business independently. A Class 2 licence permits you to work as an agent under the supervision of a Class 1 licence holder.

Can I transfer an interstate real estate licence to NSW?

Mutual recognition provisions apply under the Mutual Recognition Act 1992. If you hold an equivalent licence in another state or territory, you can apply for a NSW licence through the mutual recognition pathway. Additional units may be required to cover NSW-specific legislation.

How long does the NSW real estate licence last?

Licences are issued for 1 year or 3 years. Renewal must be lodged before the expiry date. Continuing professional development (CPD) is required annually to maintain eligibility for renewal.
