How do I get my Ohio Real Estate license?


To earn your real estate license in Ohio, you have a high school diploma (if you were born after 1950), successfully complete 120-hours of approved prelicensing education at a degree-granting school, obtain a sponsoring broker, and pass the licensing exam. While the process to become a real estate agent is similar in most states, each state has its unique steps that must be adhered to. The four steps to becoming an Ohio real estate agent are as follows:


Step 1: Complete Your Required Education
