BROKER PRE-LICENSING COURSES
COURSES YOU NEED TO COMPLETE AS YOUR CORE EDUCATION:
WHAT IS A REAL ESTATE BROKER?
A broker, aside from being someone who achieves the passing score on the licensing exam, is someone who can work independently without needing the oversight of a real estate company or another broker. They can also have real estate agents working for them. A broker who decides to still work under another broker or company typically receives the title of associate broker. The new title usually brings higher percentage commissions than a regular real estate agent.
If you become a broker you can benefit from the following:
- Qualified to work as an independent agent
- You can own your own real estate brokerage firm
- You can have real estate agents working for you
- Have the experience and knowledge to handle more complex and technical deals and parts of a transaction
- You will receive higher commissions
- You can become an associate broker in your current firm
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BECOME A BROKER?
Since September 1, 2012, someone applying for a broker’s license must have at least four years (48 months) of experience as a licensed real estate agent according to the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC.) Those four years must have taken place within five years (60 months) of the date of application. In addition, you must demonstrate no less than 3,600 points of qualifying practical experience obtained during four out of five years as required by paragraph 535.56(b) of the Rules of the Texas Real Estate Commission.
**If you meet the requirements above, you then need to obtain a total of 900 hours, including 270 hours in CORE courses. The additional 630 hours may be CORE or related courses. A 30-hour Brokerage course must also be completed as part of the 270 CORE hours. A Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university satisfies all of the related education requirements for a brokers license.
