# Start with the basic requirements that are common to all states in the USA. Ensure that you are at least 18 years old and a citizen of the USA. For legally admitted migrants in the country, having working rights is mandatory to apply for a real estate license.
# The Arizona Department of Real Estate (DRE) requires that all aspiring real estate agents in the state must complete 90 hours of pre-licensing coursework. The course provider selected by you must be on the approved list of DRE. Additionally, you must complete a 6-hour course on Contract Writing that can be done even after you get the license.
The complete coursework consists of 18 sessions in a classroom setting and 19 sessions in an online environment. The sessions may be completed in any order and are independent of each other. Further, the 90-hour pre-licensing coursework must be gone through within six months of the date of enrollment with a course provider.
While you can choose a course taught from a classroom or online, the latter is typically preferred as it is flexible, allowing for studying from anywhere and at any time. You are neither tied down to fixed classroom timings nor do you have to spend time commuting to brick-and-mortar schools.
One of the leading pre-licensing online course providers in Arizona is RealEstateU. They offer high-quality courses that are the most affordable in this niche.
# You must now complete the fingerprinting process to verify whether you have any past criminal records. If so, you might not get a real estate license in Arizona. Submit the fingerprint cards and the non-IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card Application to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
# Schedule a date for the Arizona real estate licensing exam on the website of PearsonVUE, the third-party proctor that conducts the exam. A $75 fee is payable for sitting for the exam.
# Appear for the Arizona licensing exam and pass it. The questions are in a multiple-choice format and you must score at least 75% to clear the exam.
# Apply to the ARDE for a real estate license in Arizona, attaching the exam clearance certificate provided by PearsonVUE and the fingerprint clearance certificate. Pay a fee of $60 for the license.
# Find a sponsoring brokerage firm to work with.
Once all these steps are completed, you will be issued an active real estate license in Arizona.
