@Kumar Gaurav   Here is the link to NJ license process...https://www.njrealtor.com/memb...

Basically you will take your classes, take the exam, apply for your license, find a sponsoring broker.

I never recommend any to get their license just to sell their own house. It takes time, it takes money, and then you end up with no experience selling one of the most important assets of your life as an amateur. If your broker allows you to do that. I think it only makes sense to get your license if you plan to actively buy/sell and help others buy and sell. It's just too expensive to have it for fun and pay all your annual MLS dues, and other expenses to maintain your license.
