How to Become a Licensed Realtor in BC

In this current market of real estate, it is as if all the buzz is in the sales of residential real estate. The housing market in BC is booming and prices are on the rise.  Every year, more and more realtors complete the licensing course and successfully pursue a career in real estate and earn the right to call themselves ‘REALTOR®’. Real estate careers can be rewarding, but they come with a lot of challenges. To become a licensed real estate professional, one must fulfill several requirements.

Real Estate Agent sounds like a good career, but it comes with a lot of hard work and challenges. If you are a hard worker, problem solver, and good learner then this industry is for you, and you will get rewarding results. 

You will not be bored because unlike other typical fields you will learn every day. Depending on your personality, desires, needs, and challenges, you'll meet different people.

It's an ideal career for people who prefer flexible work schedules. You can make all your schedule by yourself according to your availability. I believe if you have a small kid, this job gives you the flexibility to spend time with them and to work according to your availability. 

Some of the Basic Requirements.

As a real estate professional, the onus and burden fall on the licensee to ensure they uphold professionalism and keep their clients’ interests always first at heart. For an application to be successfully approved by BCFSA (formerly known as RECBC), the applicant first must meet some basic requirements. 

They are: 

• Have a good reputation.
• Meet the eligibility age of 19.
• Meet and fulfill the educational requirements for the required licensing level, as well as the English Language Proficiency exam (CELPIP-General). 
• No license refusal, conviction, discipline, or other conduct by a professional body that demonstrates unfitness as a real estate professional/licensee.

For applicants to be eligible to work in Canada they must also meet one of the following employment criteria:

 

1. Citizenship in Canada
2. Permit for Permanent Residence
3. Having a valid work permit/visa
4. Are a landed immigrant

Some of the Mandatory Requirements… 

After these requirements, there is one more obstacle to Canadian English Language Proficiency (CELPIP- General). The person needs to get a minimum of level 7 in all sections i.e., Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, OR person needs to get credentials for a bachelor’s degree or higher at a recognized institute or university, where English is the primary language, and the university is outside Canada.

Step 1: Now if you have passed your CELPIP exam you are already halfway. Now next step is to register for Real Estate Licensing Course. University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business is the most common place where people take admission. 

There are different options like Property Manager, Real Estate Trading Services, Mortgage Broker, or Strata. Real Estate Trading Services is the one that needs to be chosen for Real Estate Agent. After registering UBC will send you two books 

1. Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course Manual and 

2. Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course Examination Practice Questions. You have to self-study the books to prepare for the exam. UBC gives two years to complete the course. All the Assignments need to be submitted during the first year. 

Some students complete their course within 4-6 months. So, It depends on you. 70% marks are required to successfully pass the Examination. 

Step 2: Apply for the applied courses after passing your exam. Choose a residential or commercial applied course in whatever field you are interested in. This is important because that is the specialization field where you will be pursuing your career. 

Step 3: Now after completing at least two components of the applied course you can start looking for Real Estate Brokerage that suites for you. Where your values resonate with each other. When you find your broker then you can apply for a license.  

Step 4: Cheers! After this much hard work now you have a license in your hands. You are eligible to work real estate agent. Make sure to complete your applied course within the first year of your registration. 

Step 5: Make sure to renew your license after every two years. 

Now that we’ve got the basic introductions out of the way, we can move on to the real deal. As a first step, you will now need to register for the required licensing course. The most common institute students take the course is through the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. This course is offered to anyone that has met the basic requirements. 

When registering, you will choose “Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course”. The course is meant to be completed at your own pace, meeting the requirements of busy adult learners. UBC gives you up to two years to finish the course and you will have to complete the assignments within the first year. There are twenty assignments, none too long. Upon successful completion of the licensing course, with a passing mark of 70% or higher, you will now need to register yourself for the applied course. 

With the applied course, you will decide whether you will focus on residential real estate or commercial real estate. You should choose carefully because your focus in the beginning (or in general) will be what you learn in the applied course.

Overhead Cost

To jumpstart your career in real estate will take a hefty toll on your bank account. Aside from the licensing course which will cost you $1150, you will need to diligently save for the future expenses that you will incur after successful completion of the course. 

Namely, they are… 

 

1. BCFSA Licensing & Assessment Fees ($2000)
2. CELPIP-General ($300~)
3. Criminal Record Check ($90~)
4. Real Estate Board Fees ($1000~)
5. Advertising Costs (Free - $$$) 
6. Smartphone, computer, printer, website, internet access, car lease, car insurance, business clothing, etc. 

Brief Summary

To briefly overlook all the steps, let us briefly recap. After you have met the basic requirements you’ll need to work in steps before you can successfully become a REALTOR. 

Step 1: Register & Complete the Licensing Course & Exam 

The Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course is offered by the UBC Sauder School of Business, Real Estate Division. 

Step 2: Begin talking to real estate brokerages that are a good fit for you to join when you have your license in hand. Make sure this brokerage is a member of your local real estate board. 

Step 3: Register for BCFSA’s “Applied Practice Course” for either residential or commercial trading services. Once you begin the course, submit your licensing application to BCFSA. Make sure all the relevant information is correctly understood as part of your application. (Including an original criminal record check and brokerage certification). 

Step 4: Congratulations! If your application is approved, you are now a real estate agent. But… not quite a realtor yet. Once you have received your license, you must complete all remaining components of the applied course within six months. 

Step 5: To officially become a Realtor, your next step is to join your local real estate board. Joining a board also makes you a member of the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA) & Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).

Step 6: Maintain your real estate license and Realtor designation by completing BCFSA’s mandatory licensing courses, like Legal Update, and 18 hours of professional development through BCREA and/or your member board every subsequent two years after first-time licensing.
