Connecticut's 60-hour pre-licensing requirement is manageable, but the state's real estate market is far from simple — median home prices rank among the top 10 in the country, driven by demand from New York City commuters and the state's strong financial and insurance sectors. Licensing is managed by the Department of Consumer Protection, with PSI administering the exam at testing centers across the state. Coastal markets like Greenwich, Westport, and Stamford can offer some of the highest per-transaction commissions in New England, though competition is equally fierce among agents.
