Estimated Duration: 90 days

The time to obtain a real estate license varies by state but generally involves completing pre-licensing courses (60-180 hours), passing a state exam, and completing background checks. Accelerated programs can shorten the timeline, while part-time study may extend it. Research your state's specific education hours, exam format, and application processing times to plan effectively. Online courses, exam prep materials, and mentorship from licensed agents can help streamline the process.
