@Russell Brazil  Wow... that's weird.  I have "real estate agent" checked in the profile box YET it shows BROKER on the profile...   I didn't even type that in. It's a check box!

    How are you involved?

    I'm Involved as a/an:

  • Real Estate Agent

@Russell Brazil Okay. Makes sense.  I put RE Agent because title is actually "Real Estate Agent" at LADWP though. We aren't required to have a license to do so for an entity.

Thanks, @Katrina Edwards.  That made sense to try and call to ask. It was a 40 minute hold time but my desk got some much needed cleaning during the hold music. :)

The DRE phone rep said my unlicensed real estate agent experience should count towards sitting for the broker exam but was subject for review. She directed me to fill out for RE227 which would include two certifications from my management at LADWP who can attest to my experience and activity. 

@Franklin RomineI'm ready to sit for the broker exam. I have all the classes and 10 years of RE agent, sales, right of way, licensing leasing, and land management, experience. I'm not interested in just the sales license because it doesn't qualify me for a promotion to the next level of real estate agent at my work.

Hi.  I'm need help determining if my experience selling and leasing land for my company qualifies me to become a California Real Estate Broker.   I don't quite follow the requirements: http://www.dre.ca.gov/Examinees/BrokerExperience.h...

The part that confuses me is this: "It should be noted, however, that claims for equivalency by unlicensed persons for activities which require a real estate license will not be considered."

I am not licensed. Since I'm not required to have real estate license to sell my company's assets, will my 10 years experience as a full time real estate agent for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power count?  It says "for activities which require a RE license"... I wasn't required to have one. 

I have a BS in Business Administration: Management (Spring 2002) and I've completed the required Real Estate Courses at Saddleback Community College (Summer 2008). 

Will my allowed unlicensed experience combined with RE certificate and BS Biz degree qualify me? 

Thanks! 

Richard.
