Q. Do I need prior experience in real estate to apply for a salesperson's license ?
A. No
Q. What qualifications must I meet in order to obtain a salesperson's license from the State of California?
A. You must be 18 years old, successfully complete three License Qualifying courses: Real Estate Practice and a third real estate course of your choice, and pass the qualifying exam of the DRE.
