This page is independent of any school or brokerage. Requirements change, so every cell is dated through its source; if a cell disagrees with the board's page today, the board is right and the cell is stale.
1The comparison
Alphabetical. Click a state for its guide. "State fees" totals the exam, application, licence and any fingerprint or recovery-fund fee the board publishes, before course tuition; a plus sign means the state also charges a fee it does not print an amount for. "CE per term" is the continuing education needed for each renewal.

Source: each cell carries its own board, statute or exam-vendor source; the full list with read dates is at the end of this page.
2What each column means
- Entry licence. The licence a first-time applicant gets. Most states call it salesperson; some issue a broker, broker associate, affiliate broker or provisional licence as the entry level, and there is no lower licence to apply for in those states.
- Min age. As stated on the board's pages. Where the board's public pages state no age in words the cell says so.
- Pre-licence education. Classroom or online hours required before the exam or the application, with the board's breakdown where it gives one. Post-licence courses required after the licence issues are not included here but are in each guide.
- Exam. Scored questions across the national and state portions where the vendor's bulletin gives a count.
- Pass mark. A percentage where the state grades that way, a scaled score where it uses one, or the raw points required.
- State fees before tuition. The same total shown on each state guide: from $80 in New York to $729 in Connecticut. 30 states also charge a fee whose amount was not on the pages read, marked with a plus sign.
- Licence term, CE per term, renewal fee. How long the licence runs, the continuing education hours to renew it, and the board's renewal fee where published. First renewals often differ; the guides spell that out.
Questions people ask
- Which state requires the fewest hours for a real estate licence?
- Alaska, at 40 hours of pre-licence education on its board's pages, with Texas at the other end at 180 hours. Several states add a post-licence course in the first year that is not in that count.
- Which state has the cheapest real estate licence?
- Counting only states whose fees are all published, and only the state's own fees before tuition, New York at $80 is lowest and Connecticut at $729 highest. Course tuition, set by the schools, usually exceeds the state fees.
- How old do you have to be to get a real estate licence?
- Eighteen in most states on the pages read, nineteen in a few, and some boards state no age in words on their public pages. The table shows what each board says.
- Are real estate licence requirements the same in every state?
- No. Every state runs its own board, course-hour rule, exam, fee schedule and renewal cycle, and a licence is only valid in the state that issued it. The shape of the process is the same everywhere; the numbers are not.
