A.8 hours annually
B.12 hours annually

Explanation: Indiana requires 12 hours of Commission-approved continuing education each continuing-education year (July 1–June 30). Over the statewide three-year license cycle that totals 36 hours.

Explanation: The Indiana Real Estate Commission (IREC) serves as the regulatory body that establishes rules, standards, and regulations for real estate licensees in Indiana.

9How long does a candidate have to pass both portions of the Indiana broker exam after the first attempt?
A.6 months

C.Two years
D.No time limit
Explanation: Candidates have one year from the date of their first examination attempt to pass both the national and state portions of the Indiana broker exam. If both portions are not passed within one year, the candidate must reapply and begin the examination process again. This time limit encourages timely completion of the licensing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the Indiana real estate broker exam?

The IN exam has 130 total questions: 85 national and 45 state-specific, with 4 hours total time. You must score at least 75% on each portion — 64/85 national and 34/45 state. Pearson VUE administers the exam at testing centers throughout Indiana.

Why does Indiana call entry-level licensees 'brokers' instead of 'salespersons'?

Indiana uses 'broker' for its entry-level real estate license, which is functionally equivalent to the 'salesperson' license in most other states. An Indiana broker must work under a 'managing broker' who holds a higher-level license and is responsible for supervision of all brokerage activities.

What are Indiana's pre-license education requirements?

Indiana requires 90 hours of pre-license education completed through three 30-hour courses. These courses cover real estate principles, Indiana real estate practice, and Indiana-specific law. All courses must be completed through PLA-approved education providers before sitting for the exam.

What are Indiana's continuing education requirements?

Indiana requires 12 hours of continuing education annually for license renewal. This includes required topics set by the Indiana Real Estate Commission, such as ethics, agency law updates, and legislative changes. CE must be completed through approved providers before the license renewal deadline.

What disclosure forms are required in Indiana real estate?

Indiana requires sellers to complete the Residential Real Estate Sales Disclosure form, which covers structural conditions, mechanical systems, environmental hazards, and other material facts. Federal lead paint disclosure is also required for pre-1978 homes. Failure to disclose known defects can result in legal liability and license discipline.
