Individuals who wish to obtain a Pennsylvania State Real Estate Salesperson License must:

Be at least 18 years of age

Have a high school diploma or equivalent

Successfully complete 75 hours of education

Pass the State and National Salesperson Licensing Exams

The 75 hours of Pre-Licensing education are made of up two classes:

Real Estate Fundamentals

Real Estate Fundamentals is a 30-hour course that reviews basic terminology, principles, and laws that govern a real estate business.

Real Estate Practice

Real Estate Practice is a 45-hour course that provides an understanding of the ethical guidelines, basic procedural and regulatory practices, techniques, and ancillary real estate services.

Students must complete both course exams and attend 80% of the 75 hours of pre-licensing education to receive their education transcripts or certificate of completion.

To get a Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson License, the candidate must be "sponsored" by, or affiliated with, a real estate brokerage or company. Understanding what a brokerage offers its affiliates is a critical next step for those looking to begin a career in real estate.

We encourage candidates to advocate for themselves by meeting with different brokerages to find the best fit for their business and career goals. Once the candidate finds the right brokerage, they submit their application through PALS (Pennsylvania Licensing System) which requires the broker's signature for approval. 

Interviewing different companies can be exhausting...
