Minnesota requires 90 hours of pre-licensing education and uses Pearson VUE for its licensing exam, with the Department of Commerce overseeing the state's real estate licensing. The Twin Cities metro (Minneapolis-St. Paul) is consistently ranked as one of the most economically stable major metros in the country, anchored by a concentration of Fortune 500 companies — Target, Best Buy, and UnitedHealth Group among them — that drives strong corporate relocation demand year-round. Minnesota also requires a notable 30 hours of continuing education at each two-year renewal, one of the higher CE thresholds in the Midwest.
