Oregon Real Estate License Requirements
To obtain a real estate broker license in Oregon, you need to:
- Complete the educational requirements. You must complete
a state-approved prelicense program like ProSchools’.
Our interactive online program includes easy-to-read lessons, flash reviews, PROactive games, and quizzes to help cement the information in each lesson. Live classes in East Portland and West Portland are available to supplement your online studies.
- Complete a background check. Submit to the State
of Oregon Real Estate Agency a completed background
check form with one set of fingerprints and a processing fee. All ProSchools
locations have the required state forms, offer help with completing them, and
can provide fingerprinting services. We encourage you to submit your documentation
promptly because processing can take several weeks.
- Pass the OR real estate license exam. You will need
to pass a 200-question multiple-choice exam with a score of 75% or better.
When you complete ProSchools’ online program, you will have over a 95%
chance of passing.
- Submit a completed license application form and appropriate fee.
If you have additional questions about licensing, we recommend you call the Oregon Real Estate Agency at (503)378-4170 or email: orea.info@state.or.us.
If you are an agent licensed in another state, you need
to:
- Contact the State of Oregon Real Estate Agency to
determine if Oregon has a reciprocal licensing agreement with the state
in which you are actively licensed.
- Request a license history/verification be sent from
the regulatory agency of the state in which you are actively licensed
to the Oregon Real Estate Agency.
- Complete a background check. Submit to the State of Oregon
Real Estate Agency a completed background
check form with one set of fingerprints and a processing fee.
- Complete the educational requirements. Most individuals
licensed in another state must complete a state-approved prelicense
program like ProSchools’. Our interactive online program includes easy-to-read lessons, flash reviews, PROactive games, and quizzes to help cement the information in each lesson.
- Pass the OR real estate license exam. In most cases,
you will need to pass a 200-question multiple-choice exam with a score
of 75% or better. Individuals who hold an active principal broker license
from another state may be eligible to waive the national portion of
the exam, and just take the 50-question state portion. When you complete
ProSchools’ online program, you will have over a 95% chance of passing.
- Submit a completed license application form and appropriate
fee.
