Here is a possible timeline for earning your Hawaii real estate salesperson license:
Step 1: Complete the required 60-hour Hawaii Pre-License course.
- While you can take the course in person or online, most students choose an online course so they can work at their pace and on their schedule.
- You can pick up an online course at any time.
- Depending on how quickly you work through an online course, this step can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
Step 2: Apply to take the state exam.
- You can schedule your exam through http://www.psiexams.com or by calling 1-855-579-4640.
- Scheduling can take from 1-3 weeks, depending on testing center availability and your schedule.
Step 3: Pass the exam and apply for your license.
- You’ll be given your salesperson license application as soon as you pass the state exam.
- The Real Estate Commission reviews all applications at its meetings. Meetings are held once a month. You'll have to wait for the next available meeting after submitting your application to see if you are approved.
- This step could take 2-8 weeks, depending on when you submit and when the HREC receives your application.
Total Time: 6-15 weeks
It's possible to have your real estate license within two months if you work quickly through the pre-license course, schedule the exam as soon as possible, and the time your application submission before an HREC meeting.
