​*The eight required courses to be eligible to apply for a California Real Estate Broker License are California Real Estate Practice (SB 1495 Compliant), Real Estate Finance, Economics, Appraisal, and Legal Aspects of Real Estate. Three courses are electives you can choose from: California Real Estate Principles, Property Management, Mortgage Loan Brokering and Lending, Escrow, and Business Law.  Please note that if you are currently a Salesperson, courses that were completed previously will count towards the eight course requirement of obtaining your Broker's license.  Most Salesperson's have completed three courses, so you will only need five additional courses.  However, if you have some real estate courses or general business classes like Financial Accounting, Business Law, or Macro/Microeconomics completed in college, they may count towards certain course requirements as well.
