How to obtain an Arkansas Real Estate License
Arkansas provides two basic real estate licenses, a broker's license and a salesperson's license. Generally, a salesperson's license allows the holder to sell real estate only under the auspices of a licensed broker. (Salesperson's licenses are generally what people refer to when they say they have a real estate license.)
To obtain the salesperson's license, a person must:
- Have reached the age of majority, eighteen (18)
- Successfully complete sixty (60) classroom hours of real estate education of which thirty (30) classroom hours must be in the basic principles of real estate, from an accredited post secondary school or a school or organization licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Private Career Education
- Pass the licensure examination
- Send the proper forms and fees to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission no later than ninety (90) days after passing the examination
To obtain the broker's license, a person must:
- Have reached the age of majority, eighteen (18)
- Successfully complete sixty (60) classroom hours of real estate education of instruction in real estate principles, license law, and commission regulations from an accredited post secondary school or a school or organization licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Private Career Education within thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the date of the application
- Have been licensed as an active real estate salesperson or broker for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) months within the previous forty-eight (48) month period immediately preceding the date of application
