2.) Select Your Sponsoring Broker

Before you can apply to become a licensed real estate agent in Ohio, you must be sponsored by a broker. We offer career nights to help you with networking. You will be able to meet with hiring companies, learn about your local market, and speak with brokers about everything that is happening in your industry!

3.) Turn In Your Application

You must submit a completed Salesperson Examination Application, pay the fee, and submit proof that you have completed your education requirements (like your certificates of completion from Hondros College) to the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing. Once the division has received your information they will process your application and send your information to the testing vendor.

4.) Schedule your test

Once your application has been processed, you will receive a Candidate Information Bulletin with instructions for scheduling your test. Since 120 hours is a lot to learn, we offer many tools to ensure you pass your test the first time with our proven live Crammer course and online CompuCramⓇ exam prep.
