In the United States, real estate brokers and salespersons are licensed by each state, not by the federal government. Each state has a “commission” who monitors and licenses of brokers and agents.
There are state laws defining the types of relationships that can exist between clients and licensees, and the lawful duties of licensees to represent clients and members of the public.
Rules vary substantially as defined by the law from state to state, for example, on subjects that include what legal language is necessary to transfer property, agency relationships, inspections, disclosures, continuing education, and other subjects.
In most jurisdictions, a person must have a license meaning they have studied realty laws before they may receive compensation for services rendered as a realty broker or agent.
Unlicensed activity is illegal and the state commission has authority to fine people who are acting as a realty licensee. Buyers and sellers acting as principals in the sale or purchase their own properties are usually not required to be licensed.
It is important to note that in some states, lawyers handle sales for compensation without being licensed as brokers or agents.
Real estate education
To become licensed, most states require that an applicant take a minimum number of classroom hours to study realty law before taking the state licensing exam. Such education is often provided by educational companies, who are typically licensed to teach such courses within their respective states.
The courses are designed to prepare the new licensee primarily for the legal aspects of the practice of transferring estates and to pass the state licensing exam.
This is what Real Estate Training does. We have the real estate license classes consisting of the mandatory topics and hours of education. Real Estate Training has everything you need for your license education. We have our main campus on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Biloxi. Courses are also in the cities of Hattiesburg, Oxford and Southaven.
The first step to get your real estate license is to attend the Pre-Salesperson’s real estate license class.
