Kansas's real estate licensing process isn't as complicated as you might think. Before you can get your license, however, there are many things you should do. The pre-licensing training course is the first. You can either take the course online or in person. You will learn basic realty principles and how to practice as a realty agent. Passing the exam is also required.
The next step is to submit an application for your license. A Kansas-licensed broker should sign the application. The application will also contain a resume. Your job title will also need to include whether you will be working with a supervising or branch broker. If you are applying for a branch broker, you need to provide proof that you have been involved in real estate activities for at least two years.
Applicants who are working under a supervising broker are required to provide a copy of their supervising broker's license history. You must also submit a form to prove that you have a Kansas reciprocal real estate license if you are not a Kansas resident. The 60-hour requirements for pre-licensing education must also be completed.
Kansas Real Estate Commission administers it. It is divided into a state and national portion. Within six months of applying for your license, you will have to complete the state section. If you are a licensed salesperson in another jurisdiction, the state portion is not required.
Candidates will then need to submit the fees for the exam and the supporting documentation. Failure to pass a section of the exam will result in you having to retake it. For a reexam to be scheduled, you will need to wait for up to 24hrs after the exam is completed. The $82 fee covers the exam.
Once you have passed the exam, your score report will be emailed to you. After receiving your score report, you must apply for your license within six month. You will need to undergo a criminal background screening if your criminal history is known. You will also have to complete the Offense reporting form. You will also have to submit your fingerprint cards. At the licensing exam centres, you can obtain fingerprint cards.
The background report will then be reviewed by Kansas Real Estate Commission. If they find any issues, they will take disciplinary action. Sometimes, a license may not be granted. Licenses may not be granted to those with criminal records or financial problems. Your license may be suspended or revoked.
The Kansas Real Estate Commission has detailed requirements for licensing. Their website has more information. You will need to have a high school diploma, and you must be at least 18 years old. Supervising brokers must be licensed in Kansas.
