The Louisiana Real Estate Commission<\/a> only accepts realtors who are ethical, moral, and educated. It\u2019s why the requirements for becoming a licensed realtor here are so strict. They require being able to meet a minimum number of expectations before you even begin the process of applying for a real estate license and the coursework involved in obtaining a license. You must be at least 18 with at least a high school diploma or GED. You must be able to pass a criminal background check, and you must have a licensed real estate broker sponsor you for an application by giving you employment. Then you can start the rest of the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nEducational Requirements <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\nAll people hoping to obtain a real estate salesperson license in Louisiana must take 90-hours of real estate classes prior to taking the state exam. These classes are offered online and in person, but you must take courses at an LREC-approved facility. Online or in person classes are a personal choice for everyone looking to obtain their license. All you have to do is pass the class and receive certification as proof, and you need to pay the fees. There is no set fee for the course. It depends on how and where you take it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nExam Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\nOnce you pass the classes required, you can apply to take the state exam. Before you do that, however, you do need to submit an application for a criminal background check with the LREC. Depending on where you do this, you have to pay fees. Once this is submitted, you can take the exam. The exam costs $90 each time you take it. You can take it as many times as you need to pass, but each time it\u2019s $90. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nApplication <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you pass the state exam, you can apply for a license if you pass your criminal background check. Your sponsored broker needs to sign the application for you, and you need to pay the fee that is required. It\u2019s $45 to send in the application. Once it is approved, you will receive notification in the mail that you\u2019re now a legal licensed real estate agent in Louisiana. Following your licensure, you are required to keep up with your own continuing education and license renewal each time it\u2019s up. Failing to do so will cause your license to become inactive so you can’t practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
