Step #2: Pass the Tennessee State Exam

There are two parts to the exam – National and Tennessee State Law. With 40+ years experience, CLI has an excellent pass rate!

Step #3: Complete Course for New Affiliates (30-Hours)

License candidates must complete this course prior to obtaining the license. The Course for New Affiliates is available in an easy-to-understand home study format. It is a practical course on how to get started and be successful in the real estate business. Order through the website, and the course will be mailed to you!

Course Fee: $185, including all materials.

Step #4: Affiliate with a Real Estate Company

You have now successfully passed the real estate exam and completed the 60 hours of Prelicensing classes and the 30-hour course for New Affiliates.

The final step is selecting a real estate company with which to affiliate. There are many companies looking for new full-time or part-time agents.

Congratulations! We appreciate partnering with you and starting an exciting real estate career.

We hope you’ll return for continuing education courses and refer others to CLI.

CE Broker

CE Broker is the official CE tracking system for the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. The Commission has partnered with CE Broker to allow education providers quicker access to report continued education. CE Broker also allows licensees to check compliance and receive additional reminders about their license renewal. There is no requirement to create an account with CE Broker as all licensee renewal information will still be completed through CORE.
