Texas SAE (Sales Apprentice Education) is the name for the courses required for all new real estate agents in Texas. These courses must be completed within your first two years as a licensed real estate agent. Without these courses, you are not eligible to renew your real estate license following your first two year period.
As a new real estate agent in Texas, you are considered a Sales Agent Apprentice for the first two years. To renew your Texas real estate license following this two-year period, you will need to:
The process for renewing your real estate license every two years after your first renewal is similar, but instead of completing 90 hours of SAE courses, you’ll only need to complete 18 hours of continuing education courses.
You can renew your Texas real estate license for up to six months after the expiration date. After six months, you would need to apply for reinstatement rather than renewal. But you only have up to two years after expiration to request a reinstatement; if your license has been expired for more than two years, you will need to reapply as an agent and pass the real estate exam again.
The SAE courses only need to be taken before your first two-year license renewal. After your first renewal, you’ll only need to complete 18 hours of continuing education courses (plus the eight hours of legal updates) every two years to renew your real estate license.
This Texas SAE course bundle includes the 90 hours of coursework required to renew your Texas real estate license following your first two years in the industry.
The SAE courses included are:
You can submit proof of course completion to TREC via email. Just make sure to submit your documentation 10 days before renewing your license.
