What are the requirements for a salesperson’s license in California?
You must be at least 18 years old, you must successfully complete three 3-semester-unit or 4-quarter-unit courses in Real Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice, and an approved elective, and you must pass the California real estate salesperson’s license exam. You must be honest and truthful; if you have previously committed a felony or other crime of moral turpitude, your license application may be denied. You also need to provide proof of legal presence in the United States, either as a citizen or as a resident alien. You do not need to have a high school diploma or its equivalent, or any employment experience, to qualify. Residency in California also is not a requirement.
