How Do I Apply for My Tennessee Real Estate License?
Your first step is to complete the Tennessee 60-Hour Real Estate Principles course. Once that is complete, you can take the state exam. The 30-hour Tennessee “Course for New Affiliates” exam can be taken before or after the state exam, but it must be taken after the 60-hour course.
After you complete the 90 hours of education and take the state exam, you can apply for your license. You will need to submit an application with a photo. The testing center will provide this upon passing the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Licensing Exam.
Along with the application and photo, you must also include proof of completion of your pre-license education (60-hour and 30-hour), proof of high school graduation, proof of errors and omissions insurance coverage, $91 payment of fees, and fingerprints.
