Are you thinking about getting your California real estate broker's license? Are you planning to use a four-year degree as a substitute for the requirement that you have two years of full-time, licensed salesperson experience? If so, and you didn’t minor or major in real estate, you’d better act quickly. Beginning January 1, only four-year degrees with a minor or major in real estate can be substituted for the work experience requirement.
The new broker education requirement doesn’t apply if you have your complete broker exam or broker exam/license combination application postmarked to the DRE on or before December 31, 2012. (Alternatively, it may be hand-delivered to any DRE office by the same deadline.)
To get the experience requirement waived, your degree must be from an accredited college or university. You'll have to provide an official transcript as proof of your degree.
For more information about the new requirement, see these frequently asked questions with answers from the DRE.
