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.
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 CLASSES
To obtain your Iowa Real Estate Salesperson License, you will need the following
1. 60Hour course
2. Exam
3. The 3-12Hour Courses (These are NOT available online, and must be taken live, in-person or live, on-zoom). The three courses are Buying Practices, Listings Practices and Developing Professionalism.
You may take the 3-12hour courses in ANY order, however the 60hour must be completed in order to take the 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.
