FAQs About Getting a Real Estate License in Delaware
To make the process easier, here are the most common questions we get from students becoming agents about what it takes to get licensed and start a career in real estate.
1. How much does a Delaware real estate license cost?
The total estimated cost ranges from $1,000 to $1,350.
- 99-Hour Pre-Licensing Course: $700 – $950 (varies by provider).
- Exam Fee: $85 per attempt
- Background Check & Fingerprinting: $52 – $65
- License Application Fee: $149 (plus a required $25 Guaranty Fund fee).
2. How long does it take to get a real estate license in Delaware?
Most applicants complete the process in 3 to 5 months. The mandatory 99 hours of coursework is significantly higher than most states. Full-time students can finish classes in about 3 weeks, while part-time students typically take 10–15 weeks. You should also account for 2–4 weeks for background check processing.
3. What are the requirements for a Delaware real estate license?
- Be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or GED.
- Complete 99 hours of approved pre-license education (Law, Sales, Math, and Orientation).
- Pass the course final exam with an 80% and the state exam with a 70%.
- Submit a criminal background check via digital fingerprints.
- Obtain sponsorship from a licensed Delaware Broker of Record.
4. Does Delaware have license reciprocity with other states?
Delaware does not have a limited list of reciprocity states. Instead, it offers licensure by reciprocity to any agent with an active, good-standing license in another jurisdiction.
- Requirement: Reciprocal applicants must pass the Delaware Law portion of the state exam and provide a certified license history from their current state.
5. Can I take the Delaware real estate exam online?
No. All Delaware licensing exams must be taken in person at an authorized Pearson VUE testing center. Local centers include Dover and Newark, with additional out-of-state sites available in Salisbury (MD) and Philadelphia (PA).
6. When should I start my background check?
You should initiate your background check through IdentoGO after you finish your pre-license course. Results are sent directly to the Commission and are generally valid for six months. Use the specific service code provided in your candidate handbook to ensure the results reach the correct department.
7. How often do I need to renew my Delaware license?
Licenses are renewed every two years on April 30 of even-numbered years.
- Continuing Education (CE): You must complete 21 hours of CE per cycle.
- New Salesperson Requirement: If it is your first year, you must complete 12 hours of specific "New Salesperson" modules within 90 days of your license issuance.
