I think that you mean a RE agent's license, no? A broker's license give you agency rights and you usually need significant expertise and experience as an agent under a broker in order to become a broker. Different states have different criteria for brokers, but in all states you must have significant experience - like having been and agent in 50-100 closings, stuff like that. It'd take years.

I can't see what it'd gain you by having a broker's license. If you want to improve your RE prowess, you might get your agent's license and then get the CCIM designation. CCIM courses will give you lots of knowledge about commercial RE, and having those intials after your name would likely impress any serious RE investor clients, as well as improving your own investment skill.
