Requirements for a Real Estate Agent License

Haven’t heard from the job yet.

Amazingly enough though, it turns out getting started is really easy. To get going, all a person needs to do is take the Principles course and pass the DRE exam. This gives a conditional eighteen month license. If during these eighteen months the person finishes Practice and another course, the license can become four-year. To maintain this license a person just needs to keep taking courses (45 hours for four years). Isn’t that fantastic, your required to keep learning. To become a broker, one must take a few additional courses (eight total) and have two years of experience or a BA/BS degree.

This just blows my mind. If a person started taking these courses in high school, they could become a broker by twenty (you must be eighteen to get any of the licenses). I really wish I explored all my options before going to a big university and getting a degree before figuring out something I’m passionate about. At least I’m taking some steps now.
