Become a Real Estate Salesperson

Real Estate Salesperson License Requirements

In order to get a Salesperson license, you must be 18 years or older, pass a government background check, and pass the DRE-administered Salesperson State Exam. In order to qualify for this exam, you must complete three courses:

  1. Real Estate Principles
  2. Real Estate Practice
  3. One Elective Course

Exceptions:

  • If you completed Business Law, Economics, or Accounting at an approved 2 or 4-year college, then you have already completed the elective requirement. If you have completed one of said courses, please order a sealed, official transcript from your college or university and send it off to the DRE when you are ready to apply for the State Exam.
  • Members of the California State Bar are exempt from the college-level course requirements. Evidence of admission to practice law in California, such as a photocopy of both sides of a California State Bar membership card, must be furnished.​

Once you complete the three required pre-license courses, apply for the Salesperson State Exam (we recommend the Combined Salesperson Examination and License Application found below). It can take up to six weeks for the DRE to process your application.
