#1) Complete your 120-hour pre-licensing course

​

To do this, you've got a few options! You can choose a paid option like Stringham (recently merged with CE Shop). You can also choose the free option, ARTI. There are pros & cons to both.

​

In our experience, Stringham has the most robust education and test preparation curriculum. If you choose the ARTI course, our recommendation is to take an additional test prep course.

#2) Study for and pass your test

​

"I have all the course materials... what do I study???"

​

We've got you at McKay Realty. We offer pre-licensing study help and test prep. Just come over and ask us about it!

​

We also suggest using ExamPrep, a well known study prep guide for the course. You can find it on the Stringham website.

​

Testing, 1, 2, 3...

You will need to reserve a fingerprinting appointment for immediately following your exam, so make sure to confirm with the testing center staff that this is booked.

 

The testing center, Pearson VUE, will charge a $ fee to take the exam. Be prepared with a credit or debit card when you arrive.

​

You will need to verify the last four digits of your social security number and provide state-issued ID. Don't forget to bring it!

​

#3) Submit your application to the Division of Real Estate

​

Did you pass? WHOO HOO!! Time to apply for your license! (And a huge CONGRATS from us!)

 

The DRE will need:

• Salesperson Application (page 1) and Qualifying Questionnaire (page 2)

• Consent to Background Check—must include fingerprints

• Certification of Legal Presence

• Candidate Education Certifying Document

• Application fee

​

We're so excited for you, we would even be happy to walk you through filling out and submitting your application. Stop by our office when you're ready!

​

#4) Get your OFFICIAL paperwork

​

In our experience, it takes about a week to hear back about your application. The vast majority of the time, you will get word that you've been ACCEPTED, and our whole office will do a victory dance!

​

Okay, maybe not the whole office. 😉

​

...And just like that, you're a real estate agent!

​

Oh, and just wondering... are you still looking for the right brokerage?

​

Because we may have just what you're looking for.
