Tennessee License Requirements and Renewal
Tennessee sets education, examination, insurance, and renewal requirements for affiliate brokers. This chapter reviews the path to licensure and ongoing obligations. Confirm current hour totals and fees with TREC.
Becoming an Affiliate Broker
A Tennessee applicant must complete required pre-license education, pass the licensing examination, obtain E&O insurance, and affiliate with a principal broker. New affiliate brokers must also complete a required post-license course within the first period of licensure.
Continuing Education
Tennessee licensees complete continuing education each renewal cycle, including the mandatory TREC Core Course on current law and rules. Continuing education keeps licensees current and is required to renew on active status.
Renewal and Active Status
To keep a license active, a Tennessee licensee must renew on time, maintain current E&O insurance, complete required education, and work under a principal broker. Verify current hour requirements, fees, and deadlines directly with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission.
