How to become a real estate agent in arkansas
Getting your real estate license may be easier than you think. Our 60 hour Pre-License Sales Course can be completed in just 8 weekdays or 6 weekend days. That's right, in less than 2 weeks or 3 weekends, you can be well on your way toward a new career in real estate! The steps below provide you almost everything you'll need to know about the Arkansas Real Estate Commission's (AREC) requirements to get you started in a real estate career now!
Effective January 1, 2006, the Arkansas Real Estate Commission (AREC) requires all applicants for original licensure as a real estate salesperson or broker to complete a state and federal criminal background check. The federal criminal background check requires applicants to provide fingerprints on fingerprint cards provided by AREC. This requirement applies to both resident and nonresident applicants.
The Arkansas State Police conducts the criminal background check on each applicant, including an FBI check, which requires the taking of fingerprints, and submits the report to the Commission.
In order to process the application, the following must be received by AREC:
Completed Application to take the real estate examination
Completed fingerprint card. When you take your course with us, we provide free fingerprinting and notarizing.
$50 application fee, $22 Arkansas criminal background check fee, and $13.00 FBI criminal background check fee. Make cashier's check or money order payable to "AREC" for a combined total of $85.00. (No personal checks)
NOTE: AREC will now accept Applications for Real Estate License Examination prior to completion of the sixty-hour (60) pre-licensing course.
Timing is important. You can submit the application prior to completing the real estate education requirement. However, you must submit proof of completing the education requirement prior to receiving eligibility to sit for the real estate exam. AREC will issue the Certificate of Eligibility for Examination only after receiving both the application information and the education certificate.
The criminal background reports must be received by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission before the Real Estate Commission will issue the license.
