Oklahoma Licensing 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 postlicense 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 postlicense 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 forty-five (45) 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 seventy-five (75) 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 postlicense (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.
