BECOME A REALTOR®

Are you ready to take the first step in your real estate career? Before you can become a Realtor®, you’ll need to become a licensed PA Real Estate Agent. To apply for licensure, an applicant must be 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and complete 75 credit hours of real estate instruction as prescribed by the Real Estate Commission and pass written examinations.

The Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors® Institute offers the two courses needed to fulfill the educational requirement. They are “Real Estate Fundamentals”, which is 30 hours and “Real Estate Practice”, which is 45 hours. Students must attend 80% of their class and earn a passing grade of 70% in each.

An applicant must then receive a passing score on the National and State licensing exam, which is administered by PSI at various locations. A fee of $49 is charged for the licensing examination.

As a licensed salesperson, your license must be affiliated with a licensed broker. Once you are affiliated with a brokerage, you may then join a local real estate association.
