Washington Real Estate Broker Course Requirements | Real Estate U: Online Courses & License

Step #1

The 90-hour pre-license education requirement includes two courses:
1) 60-hour Washington Real Estate Fundamentals Course
2) 30-hour Washington Real Estate Practices Course

Each course includes a final exam.

The 60-hour Real Estate Fundamentals course final exam includes 200 multiple-choice questions, with a passing grade of 70%.

The 30-hour Real Estate Practices course final exam includes 90 multiple-choice questions, with a passing grade of 70%.

You will receive your Certificate of Completion for each course as soon as you pass each final exam.

Step #2

Once you complete the 90-hour pre-license courses, you must set up your free online student account with PSI, the state’s testing center.

Once your PSI account is set up, RealEstateU will send your course completion information to PSI. This will allow you to schedule your state exam date and location with PSI.

You can schedule your state exam through PSI’s website, or by phone at 1-800-345-6559.

The state licensing exam fee is $138.25 per attempt, which is paid directly to PSI.
Examination fees are valid for twelve (12) months.

Step #3

It’s important to note that you must pass the state licensing examination within two (2) years of completing the 90-hour WA pre-licensing courses (60-Hour Real Estate Fundamentals and the 30-Hour Real Estate Practices courses).

The state licensing exam is divided into a National portion and a State portion.

The National portion includes 100 multiple-choice questions, while the State portion includes 30 multiple-choice questions.

The total time allowed for both portions of the examination is 3.5 hours.

To be eligible to apply for a broker license in Washington, you must pass both the national and state portions of the examination.
Please note, the questions on the state exam are weighted, which means not all questions are counted the same. For this reason, PSI cannot specifically say how many questions you need to answer correctly in order to pass. Instead, PSI states that you must attain a scaled score of at least 70 on each portion of the exam.

You will receive your exam results at the testing center right after you complete the exam.

Step #4

Before you can apply for your WA broker’s license, you must get your fingerprints taken using MorphoTrust’s IdentoGO process.
Your fingerprints must be taken in-person at one of IndentoGO’s locations.

Your fingerprints will be used to conduct a background check by the Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the FBI. Your background results will then be electronically sent to the Washington State Department of Licensing.

There is a fingerprinting fee of $42.80, which is paid to IndentoGO.

Step #5

Once you pass the state exam, PSI will send your results to the WA Department of Licensing within 3 business days.

You can then apply for your WA broker’s license online.
In order to do so, you must create your free SecureAccess Washington (SAW) account.
Once your account is created, you can then apply for your license online and pay the $146.25 license application fee.

Please note, you must apply for your WA Real Estate Broker license within 12 months of passing both the national and state portions of the state licensing exam.

If you do not have a managing broker, you will be issued an inactive broker’s license.

If you do have a managing broker, you will be issued an active broker’s license, which will allow you to practice as a Washington Real Estate Broker!
