Types
of License and Requirements:
Provisional
Sales Associate- A provisional sales associate (PSA) is an entry level licensee,
which is under the supervision of a real estate broker. A PSA can not enter
into contractual agreements with a customer or client in his or her own name,
but must enter into such agreement for and in the name of their sponsoring
broker. In order to apply for a PSA license, a person must be of good moral
character, eighteen (18) years of age or older, and submit evidence to the
Commission of successful completion of Part I of ninety (90) clock hours of
basic real estate instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
Upon passing the state
examination and obtaining a PSA license from the Commission, the PSA has a Part
II post-license education requirement of forty-five (45) clock hours that must
be completed within the first year of obtaining a license. The Commission has
identified core subject matter that qualifies to meet this requirement; and
also approves other subject matter totaling forty-five (45) clock hours or
more, as long as it is real estate related and is approved by the Commission.
Once a PSA has completed Part II of the course requirement and has provided the
Commission with evidence of such completion, at the end of their one-year
license term their license will be issued as a sales associate (SA) license
(upon submission of the appropriate form and fees.)
Sales Associate - A
sales associate (SA) license is the same as a provisional sales associate (PSA)
license except: 1) the sales associate no longer has a forty-five (45) clock
hour Part II post-license education requirement, but rather has a twenty-one
(21) clock hour continuing education requirement each active license term; and
2) the sales associate license is a three-year renewable license, as opposed to
the provisional sales license which is only a one-year license.
In order to obtain a SA
type of license, a person must be of good moral character, eighteen (18) years
of age or older, and submit evidence to the Commission of successful completion
of ninety (90) clock hours of basic real estate instruction in a course that is
approved by the Commission.
Upon passing the state
examination a sales associate must work under the sponsorship of a real estate
broker. A sales associate cannot enter into contractual agreements with a
customer or client in his or her own name but must enter into such agreement
for and in the name of their sponsoring broker.
Broker - A broker
license allows a person to do business as a firm and sponsor licensed
associates (provisional sales associates, sales associates or broker
associates.) The broker will be responsible for activities of their associates.
In order for an applicant to apply for a broker license, the applicant must be
of good moral character, possess two (2) years of active experience, or its
equivalent, as a PSA or SA within the past five (5) years, and submit evidence
of successful completion of ninety (90) clock hours of advanced real estate
instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
A broker applicant may
request the two years experience to be waived but no education course content
may be waived. The broker applicant must show proof of successful completion in
the basic, provisional post-license (or its equivalent) and advanced course of
study prior to qualifying for the broker examination. Upon request from the
Commission, an applicant may attempt to qualify for the two (2) year waiver and
must submit all documentation as required by the Commission to verify the
waiver. Upon passing the state examination, a broker has the option of applying
for a license as a broker associate, proprietor broker, managing broker for a
corporation or association, or as a broker partner of a partnership.

Application
and Examination
Application - An application form
can be obtained from the Commission or from the entity where the applicant
completed the schooling. An applicant can only take the examination if they
have successfully completed the required pre-license course, as approved by the
Commission. The only exception to this rule may apply to a nonresident or
previously licensed applicant. Further, a broker applicant must meet the 2
years experience requirement within the required time period or qualify through
the Experience
Equivalent Point System.
The application must be
fully completed and notarized. The Commission does not provide notary service.
All applicants will be asked for a photo identification before testing. All
applicants must also include with the application a proof of citizenship or
qualified alien status. This is absolutely mandatory, the examination will not
be given without it.
If any part of the
application is incomplete, the application can not be approved. The applicant
may either wait until the application is approved or the applicant may be
allowed to take the examination if the applicant signs a contingency form,
which is an acknowledgement by the applicant that he or she understands that
the application has not received approval but desires to take the examination
even though approval has not been attained. If the applicant successfully
passes the examination, the license will not be issued until all required
documents are received and the application has received final approval. Any and
all fees paid are non-refundable, regardless of final approval.
The last page of the
provisional sales or sales associate application allows the applicant to sign
up with a broker prior to taking the examination. It is not a requirement to
have this part of the form completed prior to taking the examination. This is
only included as a matter of convenience so that the applicant can proceed to
have their license issued in the event they pass the examination and receive
final approval of the application. This also allows the applicant the option of
placing their license on an inactive status in the event they have not yet
selected a broker. Inactive status is only necessary if the applicant has not
yet chosen a broker, and will not do so within the allowed 90 day period.
Examination
Availability- The Commission administers examinations Monday through Friday (except
legal holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for provisional sales associates
and from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for brokers. The examination is administered
on a walk-in basis that allows the examination to begin any time during these
hours. The Commission is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
- Length of Examinations - The provisional sales
associate or sales associate examination is three (3) hours in length and
the broker examination is six (6) hours in length.
- Examination Fees - The examination fee for a
provision sales or sales associate is $60.00, the fee for a broker
examination is $75.00.
- Computer Examination - Examinations are
administered via computer. Upon completing the examination, results are
received within minutes. The Examination attendant obtains the results and
the applicant will be notified immediately.
- Written Examination - A written examination is
available for an additional charge of $20.00. In the event a written
request is received by the Commission due to a disability, the Commission
may waive the fee. The Commission allows 24 hours to report results of
written examinations, as the examination must be graded manually.
Grade Validity - A
passing examination score is valid for ninety (90) days. An applicant may
request in writing for an extension of the validity period. At the discretion
of the Commission, the validity period may be extended.

Obtaining
a license upon passing the examination
- Provisional
sales associate or sales associate - Upon successful completion of the examination and
the application receiving final approval the applicant will be required to
have a broker sign a form verifying sponsorship or the applicant may place
their license on an inactive status. If the applicant selected a broker
and the broker has already completed the reverse side of the application
the applicant will be required to pay the license and education and
recovery fund fee. If the reverse side of the application is not completed
by a broker, the Examination attendant will provide the applicant with
either a Application for Issuance of a Provisional Sales Associate or
Sales Associate License form or an Inactive Status Request form. If the
applicant chooses to have the license issued on Inactive Status, an
inactive pocket card will be sent to the mailing address provided by the
applicant.
- Broker - Upon successful completion
of the examination and the application receiving final approval the
applicant will be required to select the broker license type. Each license
type requires different forms; however, the license and education and
recovery fund fee is the same.
- Active
or Inactive Status - A license fee is required whether the requester places their
license on an active or inactive status.
- Receipt
of License -
No person shall begin operations in the real estate business or begin post
licensing education without first having actually been issued their
numbered license certificate.
All licenses are mailed
to the business address of the sponsoring broker.
Resident vs. Nonresident License
A resident licensee is a
person who is licensed in this state and operates from a place of business in
this state. A nonresident licensee is a person who is licensed to practice in
this state, however, does not maintain a place of business in this state but
maintains a place of business in another state and who periodically comes to
this state to operate and perform real estate activities. An applicant will be
required to apply for one of these types based on where they office from. The Commission
has entered into numerous nonresident agreements with other jurisdictions so as
to streamline the process for obtaining multiple licenses. The listing can be
found at the Agency information icon under Listing of Related Entities -
ARELLO, then select Directory. The applicant would need to contact our
Education Department for exact requirements since all agreements differ in some
aspect or another.
If a state or
jurisdiction has not entered into an agreement with Oklahoma, the general rule
is that if a nonresident active licensee possess: 1) a minimum of two (2) years
active experience out of the previous five (5) years as a sales associate or
broker respectively, 2) provides a certificate of license history verifying
such and indicating that the license is in good standing in their state or
jurisdiction of licensure, 3) completes all appropriate forms and pays all
required fees, and 4) the application has received final approval, the
nonresident licensee may obtain a nonresident Oklahoma license.
Oklahoma allows that a
broker of this state may participate in a cooperative brokerage arrangement
with a broker of another jurisdiction provided that each broker conduct real
estate activities only in the state or jurisdiction in which they are licensed.
