If you are seeking a Texas Salesperson's license, TREC (the Texas Real Estate Commission) requires completion of certain courses before you take the licensing exam:
"Before applying for a real estate Salesperson License, an individual must first furnish the Commission satisfactory evidence of successfully completing the following education:
Principles of Real Estate core real estate course (60 classroom hours)
Law of Agency core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
Law of Contracts core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
An additional core real estate course (30 classroom hours)
Another four semester (60 classroom) hours in core courses or in related courses acceptable to the Commission."
Prior Education
TREC will allow credit for a college degree, a Master's degree, or college hours that have not yet resulted in a degree. If you have the degree, or have at least 60 semester hours of college credits, you will be required to take 150 hours of prelicense courses rather than 210. This 150-hour package will consist of Principles of Real Estate, Law of Agency and Law of Contracts plus any one of the other Core courses you wish. We will custom design the package of your choice that will save you money over the cost of individual courses.
If you think this may apply to you, please call us at 1-800-509-0854 and we would be glad to discuss your options.
