Virginia is one of the few states in the country that offers full reciprocity with all other states, provided you meet the following conditions:
1) You must be at least 18 years old.
2) You must have a high school diploma or its equivalent.
3) You must have passed a state real estate licensing exam that is deemed substantially equivalent to the Virginia state licensing exam.
4) You must sign a statement verifying that you have read and understand Chapter 21 of Title 54.1 of the Code of Virginia.
5) You must pass the state portion of the Virginia state licensing exam within 12 of applying for your Virginia real estate license.
6) Your current real estate license must be in good standing and you should not have had a real estate license that was suspended, revoked, or surrendered in connection with any prior disciplinary action.
7) The pre-license course you completed to obtain your current real estate license must be substantially equivalent to the 60-hour pre-license requirement in Virginia.
8) You must have a good reputation for honesty, truthfulness, and fair dealing, and be competent to transact the business of a real estate salesperson in such as manner as to safeguard the interests of the public.
9) You must get your fingerprints taken.
10) You must disclose all prior felony convictions and any misdemeanor convictions within the past five years.
The Real Estate Board may still consider issuing you a Virginia real estate license if you do not meet requirements 7-10.
