Pre-License Real Estate Fundamentals
The principles course required before you sit for the Tennessee licensing examination. Agency, contracts, finance, valuation, disclosure, and real estate math.
Required for your license to be issued. What happens once you are active: how a transaction moves, the records you keep, and what your broker expects from day one.
Already licensed? Your Tennessee license renews every two years with 16 hours of continuing education including the TREC mandatory core — see the class calendar for upcoming CE dates.
