When is a real estate license required in Alabama?

An active Alabama real estate salesperson's license enables you to act on behalf of an Alabama licensed real estate broker to transact real estate and earn a commission for your efforts.

A real estate license is required anytime you wish to work with real estate as a broker or salesperson and be paid compensation for your work.

If you transfer brokers, you must notify the AREC you are moving from your current broker. Go to AREC Online Services to initiate a registration/transfer form.
