Whether you're switching careers or you're going after your dream job, becoming a real estate agent in Indiana is a pretty straight forward process.

As long as you are at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma or equivalent, you're ready to start. We've laid out the 5 simple steps to become a real estate agent in Indiana below. Good luck!

STEP ONE

Complete & Pass a State-Approved 90-Hour Pre-Licensing Course

The IAR-owned Real Estate Certification Program (RECP), is an Indiana-approved education provider. We recommend RECP because they offer the Broker course in-person as well as online. That way you can take it on your own schedule if you'd like! Click here for more information.

STEP TWO

Pass the Licensing Final Exam

After completing the course, meeting the minimum time requirement of 90 hours, and passing the practice exam, it's time for the final exam. You need a score of at least 75% to pass. Register for the exam here.

 


STEP THREE

Choose a Broker

To be a licensed real estate agent, you have to be affiliated with an active Indiana sponsoring broker. This is an important step as this person will serve as your guide when you being your real estate career. Take some time doing some research. You'll want to find someone you trust and would enjoy working with, as well as someone who provides you with opportunity to grow, benefits, and support.

Each year you'll need to complete 12 hours of CE and start a 3 year renewal period for your license. 

Brokers can now complete a 24 hour Managing Broker course if you wish to hold your own license. RECP offers the course in-person and online.
