an approved real estate school – whether in the classroom or online. If
you can handle a lot work and cram the course, you can fast-track it through

10 weeks.

State Regulators in most states also require a final exam and specify a pass-rate
you must achieve. This is usually done under exam like conditions at the real
estate school where you study. If you took your real estate license course online
then you can take your exam with a proctor such as a librarian or police officer.
State Real Estate License Examination
After passing your real estate license course and exam, you are eligible to take
the State Real Estate Licensing Examination. These exams are usually administered
by a 3rd party testing administrator such as PSI or Promissor.
Note that there are different types of Real Estate Licenses and a real estate
broker’s license is different from a real estate salesperson license. A
broker’s real estate license allows that person to transact business as
a broker for their own real estate company and may employ, or establish independent
contractor relationships with people that have a real estate salesperson license.
Note that a person that has a real estate broker’s license may also operate
as an associate broker under another broker.

association made up of entities involved in regulating the practice of real estate.
On their www.arello.org anyone can verify
whether someone is holding a valid real estate license or not.
