Getting Your California Real Estate Salesperson License On The Cheap.

It takes 135 hours to complete three courses in order for you to take the state exam.

The courses required are:
 
Real Estate Principles, and
Real Estate Practice, and
One course from the following list:

Real Estate Appraisal 
Property Management
Real Estate Finance
Real Estate Economics
Legal Aspects of Real Estate
Real Estate Office Administration
General Accounting
Business Law
Escrows
Mortgage Loan Brokering and Lending
Computer Applications in Real Estate
Common Interest Developments .

If you took a college course in any one of the topics above you can use your college level diploma, certificate or transcript to get credit!
 
The online school package I recommend costs $189 plus tax and shipping. You can also pay $89 dollars per class if you want to do the classes individually.
    
You can sign up to take the state exam once you complete the required courses. 

The California Department of Real Estate requires a check or money order to the Department of Real Estate for $145 to pay for finger printing ($120) and the test ($25). 

Register to schedule your exam date for $25 dollars. Then you will have to pay the finger print fee at the testing location. Once you pass the State Exam you must pay for the finger printing at your test location (so bring your check book or a money order for $120 dollars).
