HOW TO GET YOUR LICENSE

First Step: REAL ESTATE CAREER INFO SESSION

Join us for Iowa's Real Estate Career Info Sessions, typically on the Second Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm or the Fourth Friday at 12 noon. Please CLICK HERE to RSVP. These are free to attend, not a required classes and or not for any credit. 

This will be a small group discussion led by Keller Williams agents and/or staff. We discuss the process of becoming a licensed Realtor in Iowa as well as how you need to prepare for things such as education, fees, timing, etc. We also talk about what it’s like to be a Realtor.  For questions, contact Keena Roberts at asc@kwdsm.com.

Second Step: REGISTER FOR THE 4 REQUIRED CLASSES & EXAM***

Third Step: BACKGROUND CHECK

Start an account with the Iowa Professional Licensing Bureau and save that username and password as you'll use it again later. Here you will request a fingerprinting packet to initiate the background check. More information on the entire process:

More Information from The Iowa Real Estate Commission and Professional Licensing Bureau

Fourth Step: INTERVIEW IOWA REAL ESTATE BROKERAGES

When the above items are all completed, you'll apply for your real estate agent license via the Iowa Professional Licensing Bureau link/login mentioned above. They require you to select a brokerage at that time, so it's good to start interviewing brokerages now. For more information on that, contact Keena at asc@kwdsm.com.
