Becoming A Phoenix Real Estate Broker

If you are interested in becoming a Phoenix real estate broker you will have to go to a Phoenix real estate broker school and pass a state licensing test. In order to attend a brokerage school, you have to be over 18 years old, but you don’t have to be a high school graduate, or even an Arizona resident.

Phoenix real estate broker courses can be completed in as little as six months. You are required to put in at least 90 hours of course work before you will be allowed to graduate with a certification.

When looking for Phoenix real estate broker schools you might find a lot of advertisements for on line colleges offering classes in real estate. These are not accredited real estate broker schools. The laws of Arizona do not allow any course work to be completed online or through and online university to be counted towards your Arizona real estate license.

You can become more then just a Phoenix real estate broker if you go through an Arizona real state school. Most schools offer many different courses and certificate and licensing programs in all kinds of real estate based careers.

You could become a property manager, a home inspector, appraisal licensing, and even general contracting.

Once you have done your 90 hours of coursework towards becoming a real estate broker, and any other requirements your particular school might have you are eligible to take the state licensing exam. The exam is offered 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, and generally costs about $90.

It is offered in three convenient locations- Mesa, Phoenix and Tempe. You must pass the exam with a 75% or higher to get licensed. Once you pass the exam you must apply for your state license which costs a little over a hundred dollars. Some people have been able to get their license the same day they take and pass the state licensing exam!
