Real Estate Course Description 

 

Salesperson Pre-License Requirements:

​

To become eligible to obtain a SALESPERSON License in Alabama, an applicant who does not hold a current real estate license in another state must:

​

• Be a U.S. citizen, a permanant resident alien or legally present in the U.S.

• Be at least 19 years old

• Show proof of bona fide residency in any state in the U.S.

• Show proof of high school graduation or GED

• Not have been convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude

• ​Not have had a real estate application or license rejected or revoked in any state within the past two years

• After meeting the education and/or experience requirements, pass the licensing examination

​

 

Additionally, a Salesperson applicant must:

• Completion of a 60 clock hour course approved by the Alabama Real Estate Commission. In a rule amendment that was advertised earlier this year
  and became effective on October 1, the deadline for passing the salesperson or broker license examination was changed from 12 months to 6 months. Individuals who completed a salesperson or broker prelicense course after
  September 30 now have only 6 months to pass the examination following completion of their prelicense course. This new requirement should contribute to an improvement in examination pass rates since individuals
  will not be allowed to wait a long period of time before taking the examination.

 

AND

 

• Must complete a 30 hour post license training course within the first twelve months of licensure in order to be issued an original (permanent) license. Further, the course must be completed and original license issued within the first six months in order to maintain an active license.
