Licensing Requirements

California Real Estate Salesperson License Requirements

To qualify for the California Real Estate Salesperson Exam, applicants must complete the required pre-licensing education and meet state eligibility standards.

  • Real Estate Principles
  • Real Estate Practice
  • One Elective Course

Exceptions

If you completed Business Law, Economics, or Accounting at an approved 2 or 4-year college, you have already completed the elective requirement. Please order a sealed, official transcript and send it to the DRE when you 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 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. It can take up to six weeks for the DRE to process your application.
