The full cost of getting licensed

  1. Pre-licensing course - set by the school you choose (not us).
  2. Exam fee - paid to the vendor each attempt.
  3. Fingerprints / background check - e.g., California lists $49.
  4. License fee - paid to the commission (e.g., Texas $206 total online, California $350).
  5. After licensing - brokerage, MLS and association dues vary widely.

Retakes cost money. Most vendors charge the full fee again for each attempt. One practice pass is cheaper than one retake in most states.
