How to Get an Indiana Real Estate License

If you’re thinking about becoming a real estate agent in Indiana, you’re in the right place! The process is straightforward, but it does require commitment and preparation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the licensing process and start your real estate career.

Step 1: Meet the Basic Requirements

Before you can begin the licensing process, make sure you meet the following requirements:

• You must be at least 18 years old.

• You must have a high school diploma or GED.

Step 2: Complete a State Approved Pre-Licensing Course

Indiana requires 90 hours of pre-licensing education from an approved real estate school. This coursework covers essential topics, including:

• Real estate law

• Property ownership and land use

• Contracts and agency relationships

• Real estate finance

• Ethics and professional conduct

Wohrle Real Estate School offers a flexible and engaging course that prepares you for success.

Step 3: Pass the Indiana Real Estate Exam

Once you complete your 90-hour course, you’ll need to pass the Indiana Real Estate Exam, which consists of:

• A national portion (general real estate principles and laws)

• A state portion (Indiana-specific real estate laws)

Wohrle Real Estate School will provide you with everything you need to schedule your state license exam.

Step 4: Find a Sponsoring Broker

You must work under a managing broker.

• Your broker will provide ongoing training, support, and mentorship.

Take your time to research brokerages and choose one that aligns with your career goals. Use our interview questionnaire to help you research which brokerage is a good fit for you. 

Step 5: Submit Your License Application

Once you’ve passed the exam and found a managing broker, you can apply for your Indiana real estate license through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA). You’ll need to:

• Submit an online application via the IPLA website.

• Pay the required licensing fee.

• Provide proof of pre-licensing education and exam completion.

Visit the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency website for more information. 

Step 6: Launch Your Real Estate Career!

Once your application is approved, you’re officially a licensed Indiana real estate broker! Now, it’s time to:

• Complete your 30-hour post-licensing education (this must be done within your first two years).

• Start networking, marketing yourself, and building your business.
