Salesperson
License: License Requirements
An applicant for the real estate salesperson examination must show proof of three
courses prior to the state exam. Real
Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice, and
one other course from a designated
list will be required.
Who Must Obtain a Real
Estate License?
A Real Estate License is required of individuals who are to
be employed as salespersons under the control and supervision
of a licensed broker. A license may be obtained by a person
who does not immediately intend to be employed by a broker.
However, in this instance, no real estate activity may be performed.
The license authorizes real estate activity only if the salesperson
is in the employ of a licensed broker. It does not authorize
the salesperson to act as an independent agent.
Minimum Requirements
to Apply for the Salesperson Examination
Age:
No restrictions. (However, to apply for a license, you must
be 18 years of age or older.)
Residence:
Each applicant must qualify in the appropriate written examination
in California and meet all other requirements. Residency in
the state is not a requirement to become licensed.
Honesty:
License applicants must be honest and truthful. Conviction of
a crime which is either a felony or involves moral turpitude
may result in the denial of a license. The failure to reveal
a criminal conviction on an original license application may
also result in the denial of a license.
Experience:
None required.
