Get your Kansas Real Estate license — 100% online at your own pace

Kansas requires salesperson applicants to take 60 hours of pre-licensing education. You must take the 60-hour pre-licensing course from an approved real estate school.

The hours break into two 30-hour courses, the Principles of Real Estate and the Kansas Practice Course. You must pass the final to receive your certificate of completion. Note you have (6) months after finishing the Kansas Practice Course to submit your license application.

PearsonVUE administers the Kansas salesperson exam. To schedule an exam online, go to www.pearsonvue.com or schedule over the telephone by calling (800) 274-4971.

The exam fee for first-time test takers is $82 paid to PearsonVUE via credit card, debit card, voucher, or check.

Bring to the exam two forms of signature identification. Primary identification must be government-issued and have your photo, such as a state driver’s license, military ID, or U.S. passport. A secondary ID card must have your printed name and signature. You’ll also need the course completion certificate from the Principles of Real Estate Course.

Refer to the Kansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook for information on examination schedules, site locations, exam security, reporting, and preparation.

The Kansas state salesperson exam is divided into a national and state section.

The Salesperson Pre-licensure Exam includes:

National section of 80 questions. The time allowed is 2.5 hours.

State section of 30 questions. The time allowed is 1.5 hours.

KREC uses a scaled score to account for variances in exam difficulty. A passing score on both sections is a 70.

You’ll be given an official score report with your score and any diagnostic information. Passing candidates also get a copy of the license application and instructions for applying. You have six months from passing to submit your license application to the KREC.

All applicants must have a fingerprint and background check done at a local police/sheriff’s department or an authorized print vendor, using a payment authorization form. The non-refundable fee is $60 for the criminal background check and $15 for the salesperson application fee. You can pay by credit card or electronic check.

Your background check is only good for 180 days or six months. You can send the criminal history report to the KREC before or at the same time you submit the license application.

All Kansas salespersons must be managed by a supervising or branch broker. Your supervising broker must sign your license application. An original salesperson license cannot be issued on inactive status in Kansas.

Once you have completed the steps above, prepare your license application. The license fee is $125. You have six months from the date you pass the exam to submit the application to the KREC. Certain required licensing documents are valid only for six months, so be aware of their expiration dates and submit your license application before they expire.

Once the Kansas Real Estate Commission approves your application, congratulations! You are now a Kansas real estate salesperson.
