Ohio requires how many hours of pre-license education for salespersons?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
90 hours
90 hours is insufficient under current Ohio law and reflects an outdated or incorrect standard; Ohio increased its requirements specifically because lower hour thresholds were found to be inadequate preparation for real estate practice.
120 hours
120 hours does not match the current Ohio statutory requirement of 150 hours; this number may confuse test-takers who are thinking of other states' requirements, such as some that require 120 hours, but it is not Ohio's standard.
135 hours
135 hours is not a recognized Ohio pre-license education requirement and appears to be a plausible-sounding distractor; Ohio's requirement is a round 150 hours, not 135.
150 hours
Why is this correct?
Ohio Revised Code §4735.07 requires prospective salesperson applicants to complete 150 hours of approved pre-license education from an Ohio Real Estate Commission-approved school before they are eligible to sit for the state licensing examination. This 150-hour requirement was increased from prior lower thresholds to better prepare licensees for the complexity of modern real estate transactions.
