Virginia Real Estate Broker License

In Virginia, there are two classes of real estate licensees.  Salespersons (commonly referred to as real estate agents) - Salespersons must work under the authority of a broker.  Brokers - Some people get a broker license to run their own company.  Others desire the broker title so they have stronger credentials and knowledge of the business.  One may become a broker only after having the required minimum 3 years experience, broker courses and taking the broker exam.    The full requirements are listed here and on the Real Estate Board website. Virginia requires four (4) 45 hour courses totaling 180 hours before you can take the official broker exam.  The courses include Broker Business/Investment, Real Estate Brokerage, Finance and Real Estate Law. We provide TWO (2) of the required 45 hour broker pre- license courses.  Real Estate Appraisal - Broker online course 45 hour approved by DPOR Real Estate Finance - Broker online course 45 hour approved by DPOR UPDATE 2019:   We expect to have ALL 4 broker pre- license courses and are working on approval.  Expected release  date is late 2019.  These courses will be totally online  (no classroom exam required).  We plan to offer these courses at a low discount price.   Contact us to request when these courses are available.
