Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Virginia real estate salesperson exam?
The VA exam has 120 total questions: 80 national (105 minutes) and 40 state-specific (45 minutes). PSI administers both sections. You must pass each independently — 70% on national (56/80) and 75% on state (30/40).
What education is required for a Virginia salesperson license?
Virginia requires 60 hours of Board-approved pre-license education. After licensing, new salespersons must complete 30 hours of post-license education within their first 2 years. Ongoing CE is 16 hours every 2 years (biennial), including 8 hours of mandatory topics.
What is designated agency in Virginia?
Designated agency occurs when a broker designates individual licensees within the firm to represent the buyer and seller separately in the same transaction. Each designated agent owes full fiduciary duties to their respective client, while the broker remains a dual agent with limited duties.
What is the Virginia grantor's tax?
Virginia's grantor's tax is $0.50 per $500 of the sale price, paid by the seller. In Northern Virginia, additional fees apply including a congestion relief fee of $0.15 per $100. There is also a recordation tax of $0.25 per $100, typically paid by the buyer.
What does the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act require?
The Act establishes Resource Protection Areas (RPAs) with 100-foot buffers from tidal wetlands and water bodies where development is restricted. Resource Management Areas (RMAs) are less restrictive but still require water quality impact assessments for development.
