Before one can be allowed to buy and sell property in Arizona, they are required to have the necessary licensing documents. These documents give you access to dealing in the multimillion-dollar industry that has slowly spawned to become a force to reckon with in the building of the nation. Obtaining an AZ real estate license requires that you follow the simple procedures described below.

The licenses are divided into three broad categories, which are the salespersons, broker's and cemetery or membership campground licenses. Each of these are provided with licensure that lasts up to two years while renewal should be completed before or on the last day of the month in which you received your licensing document. Any renewals done, run for a term of two years as well.

You should be able to demonstrate to the commissioner that you are honest, have character as well as competent enough to carry out your duties. For new applicants they should show that they have never had licensure within the last one year and neither have their licenses been revoked in the two years preceding application. The age requirement is eighteen for whichever category one wishes to apply for.

A pre-licensing education is vital for applicants who have expired permits but had experiences in the field the expired licenses should be more than one year old. Individuals who have accumulated ten years since their own education are also encouraged to enroll in these classes. It is however pertinent that verification be done by the schools that had previously trained the individuals.

Pre-licensure education is valid for ten years and includes classroom instruction in an ADRE approved Arizona school this is because online courses are not approved within the state. It is while in school that one receives the candidate handbook or can even get it online. In the book are the procedures one has to follow while taking the exam and applying for the permit.

One receives a pre licensure certificate that should then forward to an exam administrator. Candidates for the broker exams are expected to attach the necessary files to this certificate. The exam is taken in centers located in Tucson, Yuma, Flagstaff, or Phoenix and has to be booked well in advance to avoid any disappointments.

Documents required to book for the examination include the original certificate, two current forms of identification documents with signature and one should be government issued and with a photo. All the original documents should be presented at the site of exam and an incomplete package may mean that you have to begin the approval process again hence care should be taken in compiling. It is prudent that you get online and check for the most current fees on the taking or retaking a single or the whole exam from the AZRE website.

All active and inactive AZ real estate license holders are expected by law to have a copy of the most current rules and statutes of the department in charge of this field. Copies are available for purchase from offices in Tucson and or Phoenix whichever is closest to you. Case by case information can be sourced by visiting the offices.
