Questions?
Kansas Real Estate License FAQs
Why is your tuition so inexpensive?
In Kansas you also need 12 hours of continuing education every other year to maintain your real estate license. Our hope is that by providing our students a high-quality pre-licensing course at an affordable price that those students will come back and do their real estate continuing education with us when they renew their license. You are under no obligation to do that with us, but that is the hope. Therefore, it’s in our best interest to give you a great experience at an affordable price.
Is there a time limit to take the Kansas state exam after I take the 30-hour Principles of Real Estate course?
Yes. Both parts of the Kansas license exam must be passed within 12 months of the course completion date. The application for licensure must be received by the Kansas Real Estate Commission within six months of the date the exam is passed. If parts of the exam are passed on different dates, the six-month limit applies to the earliest date.
Do you recommend that I take both 30-hour courses before I sit for the Kansas exam?
Yes. We recommend that you take both courses before you sit for your state exam in order to be the most prepared. You will also be able to receive your license shortly after you pass the exam, since you won’t have to wait until you complete the other 30-hour course.
Do I need to take the Kansas Practice course after I pass the state exam?
No. You can take the Kansas Practice Course either before or after you take the state exam. However, you must successfully complete the 30-hour Principles of Real Estate Course before you can sit for the Kansas exam.
Are there any other requirements as part of the application process?
All applicants for a real estate license are required to be fingerprinted for a Kansas and federal criminal history background check. In addition, you must be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma or equivalent.
Do you provide me a certificate of completion when I finish the Kansas real estate pre-licensing course?
Yes, once you complete a course online you will be provided with your certificate of completion.
Does your Kansas pre-licensing real estate course have a timer?
No. Both 30-hour courses do not have a timer. You just need to get through all of the sections at your own pace and pass the online final exam given at the end of the course. No worries, if you don’t pass the online final exam you can retake it for free.
After I complete my pre-licensing course, do I send my state Kansas real estate salesperson application to you?
No. You will send in your license application to the Kansas Real Estate Commission. The application will have all of the information on where you need to send your application. Here is a link to the Commission’s website.
Do you offer any classroom courses in Kansas for real estate pre-licensing training?
No. We only offer the salesperson courses online. We do not offer any classroom pre-licensing courses to obtain your Kansas real estate license and become a real estate agent. We find that most students prefer to complete their education on their computer, smartphone or tablet.
What is the Pass Guarantee?
Our Pass Guarantee is your assurance that if you do not pass your real estate licensing exam on your first attempt after completing our Exam Prep course, you will be reimbursed for the cost of your exam. See our policies for more info.
What are the e-Books included in the course?
The 2 e-books included are Principles of Real Estate and the Real Estate Math Handbook. Principles of Real Estate Practice is a modern learning tool for the student preparing to enter the real estate business as a licensed professional. It contains the essentials of real estate law, principles, and practices taught in real estate schools and colleges across the country, including all those fundamentals that real estate educators, practicing professionals, national testing services, and state licensing officials agree are necessary for basic competence. Principles of Real Estate Practice is tailored to the needs of the pre-license student. It is designed to: make it easy for students to learn the material; prepare students for numerous career applications; stress practical rather than theoretical, skills and knowledge. The Real Estate Math Handbook gives solutions to the most common math problems faced by real estate professionals.
Where do I login if I already purchased a pre-licensing course?
After you purchased your course you will receive an email with a link and access token to register yourself. To log back in, visit this page and use your email address and password you set up.
How Do I Change My Name or Contact Info on My License?
If you change your name, you must report it to the Kansas Real Estate Commission with 10 days. You should also change your address or other contact information via the REL-100 form within 10 days.
How Do I Renew My Real Estate License?
In order to renew your real estate salesperson license, you must complete 12 hours of continuing education each renewal period. Of these 12 hours, three must be part of the course. An exception is made for all new salespeople who receive their first license within five months of the renewal date.
Once you meet your educational requirements, you are eligible to apply for your license 45 days ahead of the deadline. Your education should be sent to the commission from the school, and you will be able to fill out the necessary forms online.
Can I Renew an Inactive Real Estate License?
You can renew an inactive license in Kansas to reinstate your career as a real estate agent. You will need to demonstrate proof that you have completed the necessary continuing education to renew your license. If you have questions about the process, you can contact the Kansas Real Estate Commission.
