What to Expect
In Pennsylvania, you must complete a 75-hour pre-license course approved by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission before applying for a real estate license. This course is divided into a 30-hour Real Estate Fundamentals course and a 45-hour Real Estate Practice course. We've partnered with a company to provide online pre-licensing courses that include chapter quizzes and a final exam, with opportunities for retakes if needed.
Topics included in the course:
FAQs About Getting a Real Estate License in Pennsylvania
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.
- 75-hour pre-licensing education: varies by provider
- Pennsylvania exam fee: $49
- License application fee: $107
- Background check / study materials: may add to your total cost
Yes, but the path depends on your state. Pennsylvania currently has reciprocity agreements with Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
Applicants with an active license from those states may qualify for a reciprocal license. Pennsylvania also allows an applicant who has been actively licensed as a broker or salesperson in another state within the last five years to take only the Pennsylvania portion of the exam in certain situations.
Pennsylvania real estate licenses renew every two years. For each renewal cycle, licensees must complete 14 hours of continuing education, including required topics such as fair housing and agency relationships.
Yes. In Pennsylvania, you need a licensed Pennsylvania real estate broker to sponsor you before you can practice. Your page already states this clearly in Step 7, so adding it as an FAQ would better match search intent.
The timeline depends mostly on how quickly you complete the 75 hours of education, pass the exam, and secure a sponsoring broker. Since Pennsylvania uses a relatively straightforward licensing path, the biggest variables are your course pace and exam scheduling.
