Pearson VUE lists 145 total questions and 240 minutes of seat time for ReIN-Broker; the outlines specify 80 national and 50 state scored items, plus unscored pretest items. The passing standard is a scaled score of 75, and both portions must be passed within one year of course completion. PLA oversees licensing and escrow compliance; continuing education depends on license status and the post-licensing education rules.

1Which Indiana state agency oversees the Indiana Real Estate Commission (IREC) and issues real estate licenses?
A.Indiana Secretary of State Business Services Division
B.Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA)
C.Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC)
D.Indiana Office of the Attorney General Licensing Division
Explanation: Under IC 25-1-6 and IC 25-34.1-2, the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA) provides administrative support to the Indiana Real Estate Commission (IREC) and handles the issuance, renewal, and administrative processing of real estate broker licenses. The Secretary of State registers business entities, the IEDC handles economic development, and the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division investigates consumer complaints.
2What is the minimum age requirement to obtain an Indiana real estate broker license?
A.18 years old
B.19 years old
C.21 years old
D.25 years old
Explanation: Under IC 25-34.1-3-4.1(a)(1), an applicant for an Indiana real estate broker license must be at least 18 years of age and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent (GED). Indiana uses the broker credential as its entry-level license. No prior salesperson experience is required for this entry-level broker credential.
3How many hours of pre-license education does Indiana require to obtain a broker license?
A.45 hours
B.60 hours
C.90 hours
D.120 hours
Explanation: Under IC 25-34.1-3-4.1(a)(3), Indiana requires 90 hours of Commission-approved pre-license education to qualify for a broker license. Candidates must complete the 90-hour course and pass the course exams before sitting for the Pearson VUE ReIN-Broker licensing examination.
4A homeowner spends $45,000 on a pool, but market evidence indicates it adds only $18,000 to the home's value. Which valuation principle explains the difference?
A.Anticipation
B.Substitution
C.Plottage
D.Contribution
Explanation: Contribution measures a component's effect on the value of the whole property, rather than its installation cost. The pool's contribution is the market-supported increase in value, not an automatic dollar-for-dollar reimbursement of cost.
5How many hours of continuing education must an Indiana broker complete for license renewal?
A.8 hours annually during each continuing education year
B.12 hours annually
C.16 hours every two years at the midpoint of the cycle
D.24 hours every three years with no annual minimum
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. There is no longer a mandatory core/elective split for ordinary brokers; managing brokers must include at least 4 of the 12 hours in managing-broker topics (876 IAC 7-5-2).
6What is the term length for an Indiana real estate broker license?
A.One calendar year
B.Two calendar years
C.Three years
D.Four calendar years
Explanation: Indiana broker licenses follow a statewide three-year renewal cycle ending June 30 (for example, July 1, 2023–June 30, 2026). Brokers must still complete 12 hours of CE each CE year within that cycle and renew by the cycle end date.
7An Indiana seller asks whether the listing broker breaches a duty merely by listing a competing property for another seller. Under IC 25-34.1-10-10(e), which statement is correct?
A.Competing listings are automatically prohibited within the same county
B.The broker must surrender the first seller's commission before accepting another listing
C.The broker must become a limited agent for both unrelated sellers
D.The broker may list competing properties without that fact alone breaching the seller-agency duty
Explanation: Indiana permits a seller's licensee to show alternative properties and list competing properties without that conduct alone breaching the duty to the seller. The broker still must fulfill the agency agreement and protect each client's confidential information.
8What is the role of the Indiana Real Estate Commission (IREC)?
A.To provide mandatory pre-licensing classroom instruction and direct career placement services for all new broker applicants
B.To act as the regulatory body that establishes rules and standards for real estate licensees
C.To market and sell foreclosed residential properties directly to the public on behalf of county agencies
D.To establish annual municipal property tax rates and conduct binding county-wide parcel assessments for residential land
Explanation: The Indiana Real Estate Commission (IREC) serves as the regulatory body that establishes rules, standards, and regulations for real estate licensees in Indiana. The Commission adopts rules, investigates complaints, disciplines licensees who violate the law, and works to protect the public in real estate transactions. IREC does not provide training, sell property, or set tax rates.
9A buyer will not pay more for a property than the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute without undue delay. Which valuation principle is illustrated?
A.Conformity
B.Substitution
C.Progression
D.Assemblage
Explanation: Substitution places an upper limit on value based on the cost of obtaining a comparable alternative with equivalent utility. It underlies sales comparison and other valuation approaches.
10Under the managing-broker eligibility requirements effective July 1, 2025, how long must an applicant have held an active Indiana broker license, in addition to completing the 24-hour managing-broker course and passing the required examination?
A.1 year
B.2 years
C.3 years
D.5 years
Explanation: Current Indiana PLA instructions require at least 3 years of active Indiana broker licensure, a 24-hour managing-broker course, and the required examination. The Indiana Real Estate Commission's June 18, 2025 minutes expressly identify these HB1347 changes as effective July 1, 2025. The prior 2-year rule is not the current requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The Pearson VUE handbook lists 145 total questions for ReIN-Broker. The content outlines specify 130 scored items (80 national + 50 state), plus five national and five to ten state pretest items that do not affect the score. The handbook lists 240 minutes (four hours) of seat time. Both portions must be passed, and its passing score of 75 is scaled rather than a raw percentage or fixed correct-answer count.

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

Indiana's entry-level license is a broker license. Managing Broker is an eligibility designation, not a separate entry-level license. A newly licensed broker can be unassigned, but active brokerage work requires the appropriate affiliation and supervision.

What are Indiana's pre-license education requirements?

Candidates must complete a 90-hour approved broker pre-licensing course before examination. Both the national and state portions must be taken and passed within one year of course completion.

What are Indiana's continuing education requirements?

Active or unassigned brokers generally need 12 hours of approved CE each July 1-June 30 year. Inactive or referral status does not require CE for renewal. Completion of the required 30-hour post-licensing education satisfies two CE years; general CE then starts in the third CE year after the CE year in progress at initial licensing, subject to applicable waivers.

What disclosure forms are required in Indiana real estate?

Indiana's residential sales-disclosure law covers specified transactions involving no more than four dwelling units, with statutory exemptions. Use the current State Form 46234 and disclose the seller's actual known conditions. Most pre-1978 housing separately falls under federal lead-disclosure rules, with federal exemptions.
