Realtor®

Obtaining a PA Real Estate Salesperson License

Helping counsel and mentor people through one of life’s biggest moments, starting your own business and enjoying flexibility in your schedule are all part of what makes a career in Real Estate so rewarding.

In order to obtain your license, there is a process you must follow.

1.


To determine if you can qualify to be a Realtor, first read the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin. Next, you must successfully complete the 30-hour Real Estate Fundamentals course and the 45-hour Real Estate Practice course. After passing each course exam, you will receive an original transcript.

2.


Now it’s time to register to take your State exam. Complete PSI’s Exam Registration Form and email it along with your original transcripts and payment. Once PSI processes your registration, you are able to schedule your State Exam appointment.

3.


Once you’ve passed your State Exam, create your  Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) profile, upload your documentation and submit your application for a Real Estate license. A criminal back-ground check will be part of this process.

4.


In order to legally practice Real Estate in Pennsylvania, you must work under a supervising broker who oversees your Real Estate transactions and makes sure you are following all the requirements. Once you are licensed with a member firm, reach out to LCAR for a Realtor membership application.

Ongoing costs associated with holding a Real Estate license include annual Realtor local, state and national dues. Other fees include Bright MLS’s quarterly billing and Supra Access.

Secondary Membership

If a licensee is already a Primary member of another Realtor Association and chooses to join LCAR as a Secondary member, there is a $100 application fee and prorated Local Dues to LCAR (State and National Dues are paid through the Primary Association).
