There are several steps to getting your real estate license, so it is a good idea to plan for multiple months to get your license. An average timeline looks like this:

• 2-6 months to complete 180 hours of pre-licensing courses.

• 2-3 weeks for TREC to process your application.

• 30-60 days to establish a relationship with a broker.

One of the biggest financial investments you will have to make to become a licensed Texas real estate agent is your real estate education. You are required to complete 180 hours of pre-license courses to become a real estate agent in Texas, but the options to get there vary greatly.

Onsite education options and online education, options are available. 

Two of the many available pre-licensing education options are Champions School of Real Estate® for In-person training and Keller Successful Career Opportunities in Real Estate (Education Courses provided by Kaplan Real Estate Education – TREC approved Provider #4546 and #31) for online training.

In addition to the cost of courses, there are other fees to get your Texas Real Estate license.  

Application Fee $205.00

Background check fee $38.25

Real Estate Recovery Fee $10.00

Paper Processing Fee if you submit a paper application $20.00
