California Broker Requirements To Sit For The Brokers Test

Before one may set for the brokers test in California one must meet both educational requirements as well as experience requirements. The eight educational requirements are listed below. The first five courses are obligatory. You may not substitute them for something else with the exception of number five.

#1. Real estate practice.
#2. Legal aspects of real estate.
#3. Real estate finance.
#4. Real estate appraisal.

#5. Real estate economics or general accounting.

Choose three couses from the following groups:

A. Real estate principles.
B. Business law.
C. Property management.
D. Escrows.
E. Real estate office administration.
F. Mortgage loan brokering and lending.
G. Advanced legal aspects of real estate.

If you took both real estate economics and accounting.

If you took both real estate economics and accountng, you would only need two of the last group of courses. A. through G. In any event, one still normally needs a total of eight courses to qualify the educational requirements.

If you would like a recommendation regarding where to purchase any of the prerequisites please e-mail me! But I can get you a discount with certain schools.

If you are a member of the bar.

If you happen to be a member of the bar in any state in the United States, or you have a law degree from a law school that is recognized by the California State Bar Associative you have met all eight educational requirements. However, you must be an active member of the bar or you must have all eight courses. 

There are also experience requirements.

There are also experience requirements before one may sit for the brokers test. You must have a modicum of , or equivalent of, two years full-time experience as a licensed real estate salesperson. Full-time is defined as 40 hours or more per week. You could however strech this out over several years. For example if you worked as a real estate salesperson 40 hours a week per week, it would take you four years to qualify. 

The two years may be waived.

The two years full-time experience requirement is waived if you have a four-year college education. If you have any four-year college degree you do not need any work experience in order to set for the California brokers test. If you have an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree you would still need the equivalent of one year full-time licensed salesperson experience. 

Additional Requirements.

You must also be 18 years of age, show proof of your U.S. residency and be honest and truthful (moral turpitude).

IMPORTANT!
