To become a real estate agent in California, a California real estate license is required. However, acquiring this license is not so simple and requires the fulfillment of several conditions.
The article provides you with all the necessary procedures and requirements to acquire a California real estate license.
There are two different varieties of California real estate licenses: California real estate salesperson license and California real estate broker license. Both kinds of license need to fulfill the following general requirements:
Age: It is required to be 18 or above for the license to be issued.
Residence: Although you must be a U.S. citizen, getting the California real estate license does not mandate the person to reside in the state of California itself.
Honesty: Honesty and truthfulness are compulsory for the license to be issued. The license is not issued and rejected if the person has committed a crime.
Both kinds of licenses prescribe different work experiences. These are:
Real Estate Salesperson license: No experience required
Real estate broker license: A minimum of 2 years of full-time licensed salesperson experience within the last five years (or the equivalent) is required.
