As a <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.keepmecertified.com\">Massachusetts real estate school<\/a>, who else would you call to ask that question? \u00a0Most individuals try calling the Board of Professional Licensure, but the truth is that they are super busy and it can be difficult to get someone on the phone.
