It is important to do your homework to ensure you fully understand the licensing requirements and costs involved in starting a real estate career in Calgary and surrounding areas. The more prepared you are from the start, the better set you will be for a successful career.
We have broken down the steps to get your Real Estate License in Alberta. RECA oversees the licensing requirements in Alberta. For more information, go to www.reca.ca
If anything from your past could prevent you from becoming licensed, you may request a Suitability Review from RECA.
Complete RECA’s online eligibility process. To meet eligibility requirements, you must:
All real estate licensees must complete the Fundamentals of Real Estate. Additionally, you will need to complete the practice course (or courses) applicable to the work you will be doing, and the accompanying exams to become eligible for licensing in Alberta. Real estate practice areas include:
You will need to complete the required education through a recognized course provider. Some course providers may offer all of the practice courses for each specialization in real estate. Others may offer only the Fundamentals of Real Estate and/or the Practice of Residential Real Estate. You will need to research and evaluate the different course providers to determine which delivery methods, structure, course costs, and overall educational experience will be suitable for you.
