The Kentucky Real Estate Commission<\/a> welcomes anyone who chooses to apply for a real estate license to do so, but there is no guarantee you will obtain a license. All applicants must meet a minimum set of requirements, as well as another set of education requirements. The most basic requirements are simple to secure. You have to be at least 18-years-old, and you must have a valid high school diploma or GED. You also have to submit your fingerprints and permission for the KREC to obtain a criminal background check. You have to pass this check. If you don\u2019t, your application is denied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nEducation Requirements in Kentucky<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\nThe Kentucky Real Estate Commission requires all future agents successfully complete 96-hours of pre-license education. If you\u2019d like to avoid taking these courses, you can take 6 credit hours of approved real estate courses at any Kentucky college or university. You may choose to take your classes online or in a classroom setting, and you have to choose a facility that is approved by the KREC. These classes are not free, but the fee for each one depends on where you take it and whether it\u2019s online or in a classroom setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nState Exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\nPrior to taking your state exam, you must submit permission for a criminal background check to the state. The FBI website features a Fingerprint Card for download, and you can have your fingerprints done at any police station for only $18. These are submitted with your criminal background check form, which is provided to you when you pass your pre-license education courses. Once those are submitted, you can take the exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe exam for a real estate license is issued by PSI Services, LLC in Kentucky. You\u2019ll register online by choosing a location most convenient for you, paying a $100 fee, and scheduling an appointment. You need to pass the exam with 75 percent or higher. If you don\u2019t pass one or both portions of the exam, you can take it again as many times as you need. Be warned this costs $100 each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nApplication Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have a certificate stating you passed your state exam, you can submit the application for a license your testing center provided for you with your pass certificate. You need to send this in with a $60 check to pay the fee. If you pass the fingerprint and background check, you\u2019ll receive a license. You have only 60 days following the passing of your state exam to submit an application for a license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
