There are 4 steps you need to take to get your Missouri real estate salesperson license.
Step 1: Complete the 72-Hour Pre-License Courses
The 72-hour pre-license education requirement includes two courses:
1) 48-hour Salesperson Pre-Examination course
2) 24-hour Real Estate Practice course
You must complete the 48-hour Salesperson Pre-Examination course before you can apply to take the state licensing exam.
The 24-hour course must be completed before you apply for your license.
The Missouri Real Estate Commission requires a final exam for each course (two final exams in total). You must pass the final exam before you can earn your Certificate of Completion for the course. Each final exam includes 50 multiple-choice questions with a passing grade of 75%.
Step 2: Schedule and Pass the State Licensing Exam
The State licensing exam must be taken in-person at a PSI testing center.
The State licensing exam includes a National portion and a State portion. The National portion includes 100 multiple-choice questions, while the State portion includes 40 multiple-choice questions. The National and State questions are intermixed within one exam with a time limit of four hours.
You must answer at least 70 of the 100 National questions and 30 of the 40 State questions in order to pass.
You must pass both portions of the exam in order to pass the overall exam.
Step 3: Get Fingerprinted
Before you can apply for your Missouri real estate salesperson license, you must get fingerprinted at an IDEMIA location. Prior to getting fingerprinted, you must register with the Missouri Automated Criminal History Site (MACHS).
Step 4: Apply for a License
You must apply for your Missouri real estate salesperson license within six months of completing the 48-hour Salesperson Pre-Examination course.
