Oregon Real Estate Pre-License Education Guide
Learn how to get a real estate license in Oregon and choose the pre-license courses right for you.
How to Become an Oregon Real Estate Broker
To work as a real estate agent in Oregon, you need to have an Oregon real estate license issued by the Oregon Real Estate Agency (OREA).
If you are new to the real estate business, you are probably looking to become a real estate broker, Oregon's legal term for an entry-level real estate agent. However, Oregon has several real estate license types you should be aware of:
- Broker: A real estate agent who works under the supervision of a Principal Broker. This person needs to take a 150-hour pre-license class and must pass a state exam.
- Principal Broker: An office manager (team leader). This person requires 3 years of experience, a 40-hour principal broker course, and must pass a state exam.
- Property Manager: This person manages investment properties and works with renters, but does not have the authority to buy or sell real estate. This person requires a 60-hour property management training course and must pass a state exam.
How to Get Your Oregon Real Estate Broker License
To get a real estate broker license in Oregon and start working as a real estate agent, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Have a high school diploma or GED.
- Submit your license application to the Oregon Real Estate Agency.
- Pass a 150-hour pre-license course.
- Pass a state licensing exam.
- Pass a background check.
- Associate with a brokerage under a principal broker.
The first thing you should do is submit the Real Estate License Application through the Agency's eLicensing website. Applicants will also pay the license application fee at the time the application is submitted. It may take several weeks for an application to be processed. Starting this step as soon possible will decrease waiting time. Once the OREA has processed the application, it will issue an Applicant ID to you.
While you are waiting for the application to be processed, you may start on your Oregon real estate pre-license classes.
Oregon Real Estate Pre-License Education
All candidates must complete 150 hours of real estate pre-license education. The Oregon broker license training consists of one 150-hour course that is divided into seven modules. Each module is broken down into chapters. Chapters will contain review quizzes to help you remember key points covered in the chapter.
The seven modules are:
- Agency - 15 hours
- Contracts - 15 hours
- Real Estate Law - 30 hours
- Practices - 30 hours
- Brokerage - 20 hours
- Finance - 30 hours
- Property Management - 10 hours
Each of the seven modules will have a module exam to review what you have learned. Exams can be attempted as many times as needed to pass the course.
The OnlineEd pre-license course is available online, and you can start learning about real estate as soon as you sign up. Textbooks are available in select packages for students who prefer to read on paper. All packages include supplemental downloadable MP3 audio for each course chapter, which you can play on your personal media device.
Pass the Real Estate Licensing Exam
After you have finished your pre-license education, your Applicant ID and record of successful completion will be automatically submitted to the OREA's state licensing exam provider, PSI. You will then receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your real estate licensing exam. The state licensing exam will be given at one of the provider's testing facilities, with locations throughout Oregon.
Background Check & Brokerage Association
After you successfully pass the state licensing exam, you can make payment for the background check and fingerprinting directly at the testing center. This background check may take several weeks to complete.
Before your Oregon real estate broker license can be issued, the OREA will confirm that your real estate principal broker will approve you as a licensee. Once the principal broker's authorization is received by the state, you will be able to print out your real estate broker license from the Agency's eLicensing website.
