Obtaining An AZ Real Estate License

By Madeline Finch


Before one can be allowed to buy and sell property in Arizona, they are required to have the necessary licensing documents. These documents give you access to dealing in the multimillion-dollar industry that has slowly spawned to become a force to reckon with in the building of the nation. Obtaining an AZ real estate license requires that you follow the simple procedures described below.

There are three broad categories of this field and they are they brokers, salespersons, and cemetery campground licenses. The licensure term for each of these categories is two years and renewal is expected to be done on or before the last day of the month in which you got your permit. Renewals done, run for a period of two years.

To get the permit you have to prove to the commissioner beyond doubt that you have the necessary competent skills to carry out your job in a professional manner, you are honest and have character that can be depended upon by future clients. You should also show that you have not applied for the permit within the last twelve months and also have not had one revoked in the past twenty four months. Minimum age requirement for this application is eighteen and above.

Those who have however, had previous experiences and licenses that had not been renewed within one year of expiration are required to take pre licensing education. This education is also important for individuals who had attained their more than ten years ago retake and pass the exams. Verification will have to however, be forwarded to the commissioner from the schools one had attended earlier.

The education received during the pre licensing period is valid for a decade and includes a session where one has to sit through a class since Arizona does not allow for online classes. When registered in the school the individual receives a handbook that clearly spells out all the documents and steps you have to complete to receive licensure. This handbook is also accessible online.

Once the course is completed depending on the results, you will then be given a pre-licensure certificate that you should forward to a testing administrator. If you require doing the broker examination, a broker candidate experience verification form should be attached to the certificate. The exam is divided into two parts the National and the local, which in this case is Arizona, exam centers are located in Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff where they are conducted on appointment.

Documents required to book for the examination include the original certificate, two current forms of identification documents with signature and one should be government issued and with a photo. All the original documents should be presented at the site of exam and an incomplete package may mean that you have to begin the approval process again hence care should be taken in compiling. It is prudent that you get online and check for the most current fees on the taking or retaking a single or the whole exam from the AZRE website.

It is expected that all AZ real estate license holders no matter whether they are inactive or active should have at their disposal a copy that is current on the department's statutes and rules. It can be purchased from ADRE offices located in Phoenix and Tucson and even by mail. It is important to get in touch with their offices for detailed information on the application process.
