I know a lot of you out there have asked this question before, and there are more who will ask the same question again. I’ll just answer it here so I can refer to this post whenever the same question pops-up.

To answer the question “What are the requirements for the Real Estate Brokers Licensure exam?”, let me quote Section 14 of the RESA Law IRR which is about the qualifications of applicants for examinations below:

SEC. 14. Qualification of Applicants for Examinations. In order to be admitted to the licensure examination for real estate service, a candidate at the time of filing his/her application, shall establish to the satisfaction of the Board that he/she possesses the following qualifications:

(c)  Is of good moral character, and must not have been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude,

(d)  An applicant for the licensure examination for real estate consultants must show proof that he/she has at least ten (10) years experience as a licensed real estate broker, or an assessor, or as a bank, or institutional appraiser, or an employed person performing real property valuation, or at least five (5) years experience as a licensed real estate appraiser.

All applications for examination shall be filed with the  Board  who shall assess and approve said applications and issue to the qualified examinees the corresponding permits or notices of admission to take such  examination upon submission of the following documents:

  5. Hi Jay,

    I currently run a company that assists real estate agents in the US process housing valuations. Nearly all my staff have 4 years degrees and I’m pushing some of my top staff to get a brokers license to do business in the Philippines as well.

    Would this type of work qualify for the (120) credit units of real estate subjects and training from accredited service providers, or is there a list of certain business entities where they would have to go acquire 120 units prior to application?

    Regards,
    John
