The State of California Department of Real Estate supervises all
aspects of the real estate industry in California. Their main mission is to protect the
public, and they have five district offices: Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, Oakland and
San Diego. There are over 127,000 people holding a real estate broker license in
California, and over 321,900 people holding a real estate salesperson license. This means
close to a half-million people with California real estate licenses are employed in real
estate careers, with hundreds of thousands more in related real estate jobs.
The requirements to become a real estate agent in California include being at least 18
years of age. The applicants for a
real estate salesperson license must provide proof that they are a legal
resident of the United States, and proof that they are honest and truthful. Conviction of
a crime can result in the denial of a license. Fingerprints and a $56 fingerprinting fee
are part of the application for the real estate exam. No experience is required for
applying for a real estate salesperson license; however, the following educational
requirements need to be met.
Three real estate courses, as specified by the Department of Real Estate, must be
completed either before taking the examination or within 18 months afterwards. The
California real estate education prelicensure requirements may be met by three
semester-units or four quarter-units at college level from an accredited school or
college, or from a private real estate school approved by the Department of Real Estate.

applicant must show evidence (transcripts) of having completed the eight required
