How to Get Your California Real Estate License
Need to know exactly how to get your California real estate license? Enrolling in the three required real estate licensing courses is just the first step.
Step 1: Complete Your Three License Courses
Starting October 1, 2007, completion of three real estate license courses, California Real Estate Principles, California Real Estate Practice, and one approved elective course, is required by the Department of Real Estate prior to sitting for the real estate examination.
Step 2: Submit Your Exam Application
Once you submit proof to the state that you have completed the three courses, you will be able to schedule your real estate exam.
For details, please go to the Department of Real Estate's website (www.dre.ca.gov) and follow the instructions for eLicensing.
For more information about registering for the state exam, taking the exam, or getting your license, click on the California State Requirements link at the top of this page, or visit the Department of Real Estate's website at www.dre.ca.gov.
Step 3: Take a Real Estate Exam Preparation Course
With a California real estate exam pass rate of less than 50%, you need a more focused study tool for the state exam. We highly recommend enrolling in our Salesperson’s Cram online course. This review course narrows your study down to the topics that are most likely to be tested on the state exam, and includes four practice exams (with answers and explanations) which give you a detailed breakdown of which subjects you know the best and which you need to review. We’re so certain you’ll pass the state exam after taking our Salesperson’s Cram online course, we back it up with our Passing Guarantee.
Step 4: Pass the Exam & Submit Your License Application
Once you pass the exam, the DRE will send you the paperwork necessary to complete your license application. For more details, click on the California State Requirements link at the top of this page |
