After choosing a Career in Real Estate...Must know!

Enrolling and satisfactorily completing the Part I, 90 hour, Pre-License Course allows one to take the state exam. Step two complete the state exam, passing with 75% (test fee is $60.00). Step three pay $75.00 to obtain an active or inactive license. (The following explanation of the PSA was taken from the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission web page: http://www.orec.ok.gov/ )
Provisional Sales Associate- A provisional sales associate (PSA) is an entry level licensee, which is under the supervision of a real estate broker. A PSA can not enter into contractual agreements with a customer or client in his or her own name, but must enter into such agreement for and in the name of their sponsoring broker. In order to apply for a PSA license, a person must be of good moral character, eighteen (18) years of age or older, and submit evidence to the Commission of successful completion of Part I of ninety (90) clock hours of basic real estate instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
Upon passing the state examination and obtaining a PSA license from the Commission, the PSA has a Part II post-license education requirement of forty-five (45) clock hours that must be completed within the first year of obtaining a license. The Commission has identified core subject matter that qualifies to meet this requirement; and also approves other subject matter totaling forty-five (45) clock hours or more, as long as it is real estate related and is approved by the Commission. Once a PSA has completed Part II of the course requirement and has provided the Commission with evidence of such completion, at the end of their one-year license term their license will be issued as a sales associate (SA) license (upon submission of the appropriate form and fees.)
