How long does it take to get my DE real estate license?

Here is a potential timeline for how long it could take to obtain your Delaware real estate salesperson license:

 

Step 1: Complete the required 99-hour Delaware Pre-License course.

  • Many students opt for an online course so they can complete the course at their pace.
  • An online course can be faster to complete than an in-person class.
  • Completing the course can take anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on how quickly you work.

 

Step 2: Schedule and take the state exam.

  • You can schedule your exam through www.pearsonvue.com/de/realestate or by calling (800) 274-2604..
  • Scheduling can be from 1-3 weeks out, depending on availability at the testing centers.

 

Step 3: Be hired by a Delaware broker

  • Once you pass the exam, you need to work under a Delaware Broker to submit the license application.
  • Hiring can take 1-3 months.

 

Step 4: Apply for your license.

  • You can submit the application with DELPROS as soon as you have your proof of education, passed the exam, and been hired by a broker.
  • Delaware's Department of Professional Licensing does not provide a processing time estimate. Expect 2-4 weeks.

 

Total Time: 12-24 weeks

 

It's possible to have your DE real estate license within three months. How quickly you meet your license requirements will depend on the time it takes you to complete your course, pass the exam, and apply for the license.
