How to Become an Oregon Real Estate Agent

In order to sell commercial real estate in Oregon, you'll need a real estate broker's license. After completing a series, you can obtain a license as a broker by passing the Oregon real-estate exam. The licensing process takes approximately six to eight months. You can speed up the process if you start early. The average time it takes to complete the course for a full-time student is approximately two months.

To start the process, you'll need to complete a minimum of 150 hours of classroom or online study. Online courses are provided by an accredited education provider and are available in different formats. They are easy to use and can be accessed at your own pace. You also have the option to enroll in an actual, in-person course. If you decide to opt for the latter option, you will need to go to a local licensed school.

After completing all required coursework, you will need to submit your application along with a fee. In addition, you'll need to take a background check. This process can take up to 4 weeks and may require fingerprinting. Once you have passed your background check, an Applicant ID will be issued to you. You can then create an eLicense account to begin earning your license.

Your eLicense will contain information about all of your courses, as well the status of their completion. A final exam is also required. A comprehensive final can take as little as 20 questions, while a more advanced course can have as many as 150.


The exam itself is designed to test your knowledge of key topics in property law and valuation. It's divided into two sections: the State section, which lasts 75 minutes, and the National section, which lasts about two hours. As a rule of thumb, the passing score for the State section is about 60 percent while that of the National section is about 80 percent.

There are 130 questions required for the real estate broker exam. Candidates can either sit in person at testing centers or online for the exam. Either way, the first part focuses on national laws, while the second part covers state laws.

You should do your research before deciding whether to enroll in an online or face-to-face course. You can find information about license requirements and background checks on the state's official site. You can also contact the state's Real Estate Agency if you have questions.

You must be at minimum 18 years of age, have a high-school diploma or GED and pass a background screening to receive your license. The State of Oregon website provides information on the exam and how to apply.
