How to Become a Licensed REALTOR with the Largest and Most

Successful Real Estate Company in the Northeast Houston Area

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy Williams, and I am a

Team Leader and Real Estate Productivity Coach affiliated with the largest and

most successful real estate office in the Northeast Houston area; Keller

Williams Realty Northeast.

My career with Keller Williams Realty began in 2004 in sales with KW

Northeast, followed by being a member of the leadership team at both KW

Houston Memorial and KW The Woodlands and Magnolia. While at KW The

Woodlands and Magnolia, I was responsible for growing the company to a

billion dollar a year operation, and the office was recognized at the time as the

#4 Keller Williams office in the world. I’ve been fortunate in my tenure to see

and understand what makes real estate agents successful. My desire is to bring

professionalism to the industry, and to help others succeed and achieve their

personal and life goals.

In 2014, I had the opportunity to join the leadership team of Keller Williams

Realty Northeast, and have since grown the company by 100 agents, and

continue raising the standards and creating opportunities for my agents. Just as

the values of KW Northeast is God, Family and Business, I strive each day to

be a change maker in the lives of others.

Principles of Real Estate II (30 classroom hours)

Law of Agency (30 classroom hours)

Law of Contracts (30 classroom hours)

Promulgated Contracts Form (30 classroom hours)

recognized by TREC.

2. Submi5ng Your Applica!on for a Salesperson License

Once you have completed the required courses by TREC, you can submit and pay for the Applica4on for Inac4ve Sales

Agent License. You must be able to provide evidence of your course comple4on by either providing transcripts or cer4fi-

cates when submiIng your applica4on to TREC.

The Applica4on for Inac4ve Sales Agent License is to be paid online on the TREC website. When using the online portal to

make applica4on, you will submit your educa4on transcripts or cer4ficates via email to [email protected]

The fees for the Applica�on for Inac�ve Sales Agent include:

Original Applica�on – $205 (This is required by all applicants.)

Subsequent Background Check Fee – $29.75 (This is required by applicants that have previously fingerprinted with the Tex-

as Real Estate Commission.

Paper Processing Fee – $20 (This is only assessed if you submit by paper form.)


3. Fingerprint Requirements by TREC

In accordance to the Real Estate License Act, all those making a new applica4on, or a renewal, are required to provide fin-

gerprints. Once you receive your TREC en4ty number (this is triggered when you submit your applica4on, and your educa-

4on being approved), the FastPass form can be downloaded from the TREC website, and you will be able to set an appoint-

ment through Morpho Trust. You will not be issued a real estate license unless you clear the background check.

A background check at a cost of $29.75 is required in the Original and Registra4on applica4ons for applicants that already

have fingerprints on file with the Texas Real Estate Commission.

4. Examina!on Informa!on for Sales Agent License

Pearson VUE, a tes4ng company, is the administrator of the licensing examina4ons. Once the applica4on for sales agent is

submiLed, and the educa4on requirements met, you will be able to sit for your exam. The exam eligibility no4fica4on once

received will provide instruc4ons along with a copy of the Candidate Handbook providing you with the informa4on you

need to schedule your exam. You are required to have two forms of current signature iden4fica4on when arriving at the

tes4ng center to take your exam. The name on the iden4fica4on must match the name on the applica4on for sales agent.

You have one year to test once you submit your applica4on.

Visit the TREC website to learn more about what occurs in the event you do not pass the exam.

5. Addi!onal Inves!ga!on May Be Required

Upon submiIng your applica4on, TREC is authorized to conduct a background check of the applicant. Informa4on revealed

by the background check may result in the applica4on being declined. If addi4onal inves4ga4on is deemed necessary, this

will con4nue un4l the applicant has passed the exam.


6. Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Repayment History to be Reviewed

ra4on, the applicant must contact the TG prior to submiIng an applica4on.
