FAQ: Working in Real Estate in Puerto Rico
Do I need a license to work in real estate in Puerto Rico?
Yes. Acting as an intermediary in a sale or rental requires a salesperson or broker license from Puerto Rico's Board of Real Estate Brokers, Salespersons and Companies.
What is the difference between a real estate salesperson and a broker?
A salesperson works under the supervision of a broker or real estate company. A broker can work independently, own a company and supervise salespeople. It requires more education and a longer course.

Four years. To renew, salespeople complete 4 hours of continuing education a year and brokers 6 hours.
