This study is aiming at finding more advanced system through comparative analysis and interview survey. This study uses both literature data comparison and interview survey analysis on the basis of positive institutionalism theory. For literature and data comparison, the real estate laws and institutions of two countries were researched. The selective examination and education systems of two countries were reviewed. Especially, the interview survey results that collected the opinions of Korean-American real state brokers on the real estate license systems of two countries were analysed. In the results of this study and survey, it was found that the real estate license examination and continuing education systems of Washington State were more intensively organized than those of Korea. Washington State has pre-education course before taking real estate licence examination. After passing the licence examination, real estate brokers have to listen to the extra lectures every two years in order to work legally and consistently as a broker. The results of this study are giving good suggestions to us related to our real estate licensing systems.
