GET YOUR REAL ESTATE LICENSE
The Real Estate School of York & Adams Counties provides real estate pre-licensing courses at the Association building in a classroom setting, located at 901 Smile Way, York. We also offer the courses online.
About the Career
Real estate agents help people make the most important decision of their lives in transitioning into home ownership. You’ll perform duties such as study property listings, interview prospective clients, accompany clients to property sites, discuss conditions of sale, and draw up real estate contracts.
Steps to Getting Your Real Estate License
Educational Requirements
Must be 18 years of age to obtain a Pennsylvania Real Estate License, and have a high school diploma or GED.
Coursework: You must successfully complete 75 hours of real estate pre-licensing courses as prescribed by the PA State Real Estate Commission and pass a proctored final exam for each required course at the Real Estate School of York & Adams Counties. While we recommend that you complete Real Estate Fundamentals first, the courses can be taken in any order. We offer both courses in either a classroom or online setting.
- Real Estate Fundamentals: This 30-hour required course familiarizes the student with the laws, principles and language involved in the industry of real estate.
- Real Estate Practice: This 45-hour required course gives students a thorough understanding of the standard procedures, ethics, techniques, forms, and rules surrounding real estate transactions.

State & National Licensing Exams
Upon completion of the two required courses, you must pass the PA licensing examination administered by Pearson Vue. You will schedule this directly with the State of Pennsylvania. Once you pass the State Licensing Exam, you will apply to the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission to have your Real Estate license issued.
