Online Tennessee Real Estate School & Courses

Here's the full path from enrollment to license, in the order it actually happens (walked through in more depth in How to Get a Tennessee Real Estate LicenseTennessee How To Get A Tennessee Real Estate License Career Center):

1. Complete the 60-hour Real Estate Principles course
2. Schedule and pass the PSI exam (national and state portions)
3. Complete the 30-hour Course for New Affiliates; this happens after you pass the exam, not before
4. Submit your application to TREC along with proof of E&O insurance and your fingerprint background check
5. Affiliate with a licensed principal broker to activate your license

You'll need to:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Be a Tennessee resident for a minimum of 45 days
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent
• Submit fingerprints for a background check
• Complete the required pre-licensing education
• Provide proof of an errors and omissions insurance policy with your application

Course costs run $199–$499 depending on your package. On top of that, state costs add $91 for your TREC application and $63 for the PSI exam (less if you only need to retake one section), putting most candidates somewhere in the $350 to $650 range before fingerprinting and errors and omissions insurance, both of which vary depending on the vendor you use. Where those numbers actually come from, along with what TREC requires if you've been on parole or probation, is laid out in our breakdown of Tennessee real estate license costsTennessee What Is The Cost Of A Real Estate License In Tennessee Career Center. If you'd rather spread the upfront cost out, AceableAgent offers financing through Affirm and Klarna at checkout.

The exam, administered by PSI, has 120 scored questions split into a national portion (80 questions, 160 minutes) and a state portion (40 questions, 80 minutes). You'll need 70% on each section to pass. If you pass one section but fail the other, you only retake the section you missed. You can retake a failed exam as early as the next day on your first attempt, but after a second failed attempt, you'll need to wait 30 days before trying again.

Yes. AceableAgent's Tennessee course is approved by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission and covers the full 90-hour education requirement across both required courses.
