Not ready to sell full-time?
You can still earn. Through our referral-only brokerage, ReACH, you keep your license active and collect referral fees without selling full-time. ReACH even reimburses your license cost 100% at your first closed referral — so your license can start paying for itself right away.
This is general information about getting licensed and joining the team. Specific terms of license reimbursement are discussed when you join. Coursework and licensing are administered by RealEstateU and the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Alan really pay for my real estate license?
Yes. When you get licensed and join Alan's team at White Picket Realty, Alan covers the cost of getting your license — your coursework, exam, and fees — once you're on the team and producing. It's a real investment in you, because Alan would rather grow great agents than watch the cost hold them back.
How do I get my Texas real estate license?
You complete 180 hours of state-required pre-license coursework, pass the Texas real estate exam, get sponsored by a broker, and submit your application and fingerprints to the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). You can start your coursework online through our RealEstateU partner, and Alan's team sponsors you and walks you through every step.
How long does it take to get licensed?
Most people finish in about 6 to 10 weeks of evening and weekend study. The state requires 180 hours of pre-license coursework, which you can do online at your own pace, followed by the state exam. Move faster and you can be licensed even sooner.
What does it cost me?
Your path to a license is paid for. When you get licensed and join the team, Alan covers the cost of your pre-license coursework, the state exam and fingerprint fees, and your application and license fees. Talk to Alan to go over the simple details of how reimbursement works once you're producing on the team.
What if I just want to send referrals instead of selling full-time?
That's an option too. Through our referral-only brokerage, ReACH, you can keep your license active and earn referral fees without selling full-time. ReACH even reimburses your license cost 100% at your first closed referral. It's a great fit if you're not ready to sell full-time but want to keep your license working for you.
