What Are the Experience Requirements to Become a Texas Broker?

Candidates for a broker license must also meet the following experience requirements:

Have at least four years’ active experience as a licensed real estate sales agent or broker during the 60-month period preceding the filing of the application.

Your experience must total 720 points and be reported on the TREC Qualifying Experience Report for a Broker’s License. You must also include a transaction identification list for each transaction claimed on the experience report.

Candidates who have earned experience points above the minimum required can substitute additional experience points for up to 300 hours of the 630 hours of real estate related education. For every two points above the minimum 720 points, credit for one classroom hour of the related education will be awarded.

What are the Education Requirements to Become a Broker in Texas?

To become a broker, a salesperson needs to meet education and experience requirements. PLEASE READ.

Each salesperson desiring to become a broker will have different education requirements based on three things:

  1. The amount of college education you have (degree, associate’s degree, or some college hours)
  2. The number of hours you took to obtain your salesperson’s license
  3. The number of courses (hours) you have taken since you obtained your salesperson’s license

If You Have a 4 Year College Degree

IF you have a four-year college degree from an accredited college or university, TREC will allow 300 clock hours credit. This credit along with your pre-licensing, SAE and CE courses MAY already qualify you for almost all education requirements to become a broker.

If You Do Not Have a College Degree

IF you have less than a college degree or no college, you will need to take some additional education to Qualify.

3 IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

  • No matter how much education you have, you must take the 30-hour TREC approved Real Estate Brokerage course (this is a TREC requirement) within two years prior to filing the application.
  • You must also take the six-hour Broker Responsibility Course.
  • You may retake ANY course and receive credit toward your broker’s license if you have not taken the course for two years.

We recommend that if you decide to repeat some or all of the pre-licensing courses to obtain additional hours, we definitely recommend retaking Real Estate Principles I and Real Estate Principles II. The broker state exam is still based on these two courses and it will be a good review for you to prepare for taking the state exam. 

We offer both individual courses and package pricing (based on the number of courses you need).
