Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Kentucky real estate sales associate exam?
The Kentucky exam has 130 scored questions: 80 on the national portion and 50 on the Kentucky state-specific portion. PSI may also include 5–10 unscored experimental items. You must pass each section at 75% — scoring at least 60/80 on the national portion and 38/50 on the state portion. The exam is 4 hours total (150 min national + 90 min state).
What education is required for a Kentucky real estate license?
Kentucky requires 96 clock hours of pre-license education approved by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC). The 96 hours cover both general real estate principles (60 hours) and Kentucky license law (36 hours). You must also complete an FBI fingerprint background check and apply for licensure within 60 days of passing the PSI exam.
What is the post-license requirement in Kentucky?
After receiving your initial Kentucky sales associate license, you must complete 48 hours of KREC-approved post-license education within 2 years. The post-license curriculum includes mandatory hours in agency, contracts, finance, advertising, fair housing, and other topics. Failure to complete these hours within the 2-year window can result in license expiration.
How does Kentucky handle dual agency?
Dual agency is permitted in Kentucky under KRS 324.121, but only with the written informed consent of all parties involved. A principal broker may designate separate sales associates to represent the buyer and seller in the same transaction (designated agency), which avoids dual agency issues. Without written consent, a licensee may not represent both buyer and seller in the same transaction.
