How to get a Kentucky real estate license via reciprocity
If you're currently licensed in Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, or Illinois, you're in luck! Kentucky holds reciprocity agreements with these states that would allow you to complete fewer course hours and skip the national portion of the licensing exam. For sales associates, you must be actively licensed in one of those states for a minimum of 1 year immediately preceding the submission of your reciprocal application. For brokers in Ohio, Florida, and Illinois, you must have been actively licensed as a managing broker for a minimum of 2 years immediately preceding the submission of your reciprocal application. For Tennessee brokers, it is a minimum of 3 years.
01
Complete your 40-hour Kentucky Reciprocity Course
This can be taken 100% online and self-paced. Both salesperson and brokers take the same 40-hour course.
02
Complete the course final exam
After you finish the course, you will need to take an online proctored exam and pass with a minimum score of 75%.
03
Submit the background check requirement
You must submit your fingerprints to the Kentucky State Police or FBI for a criminal background check.
04
Request your history/letter of good standing
This must be requested from your state real estate commission and sent directly to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission.
05
Pass the Kentucky State Exam
You will only need to pass the Kentucky state portion of the PSI real estate state exam. This includes 50 state-specific questions. You will need a 75% or higher to pass this exam. You will not need to take the national portion of the real estate exam.
06
Affiliate with a broker registered in Kentucky
You will need a real estate brokerage registered in Kentucky to hire you so that they can hold your activated license. For brokers who are going through reciprocity, you skip this step.
07
File your license application
You can either mail in your application or submit your application electronically to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission. During the application process, you will purchase errors and omissions insurance to have your real estate license activated.
