Hey there,
Becoming a realtor typically takes about 3 to 6 months, depending on your state’s requirements and how quickly you complete the necessary steps. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Pre-Licensing Education (1 to 3 months):
Complete the required coursework (usually 60-180 hours), which can vary by state.
You can take these classes online or in person.
Pass the Real Estate Exam (1 to 2 months):
Study for and take the state licensing exam.
Some people pass on the first try, while others may need to retake it.
Activate Your License (1 to 2 weeks):
Submit your application and pay any required fees to get your license activated.
Join a Brokerage (1 to 2 weeks):
Find a sponsoring real estate broker to work under, as most states require this to practice.
Become a Realtor (Optional, 1 to 2 weeks):
Join the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to officially become a Realtor®.
So, from start to finish, it usually takes 3 to 6 months to become a licensed realtor, depending on how quickly you complete each step.
