Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Washington real estate broker exam?
The WA exam has 130 total questions: 100 national and 30 state-specific, with 3.5 hours total time. You must score at least 70% on each portion — 70/100 national and 21/30 state.
Why does Washington call licensees 'brokers' instead of 'salespersons'?
Washington uses different terminology. Entry-level licensees are 'brokers,' experienced licensees who supervise are 'managing brokers,' and the individual who heads a firm is the 'designated broker.' This is functionally equivalent to salesperson, broker, and managing broker in other states.
What is the Washington Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)?
REET is paid by the seller at tiered rates: 1.1% on the first $525,000, 1.28% from $525,001–$1.525M, 2.75% from $1.525M–$3.025M, and 3% above $3.025M. Local jurisdictions can add up to 0.50%. REET is due within 30 days of sale.
How does community property affect real estate in Washington?
Washington is one of 9 community property states. Property acquired during marriage is owned equally by both spouses. Both spouses must sign any deed transferring community real property, even if only one spouse's name is on the title.
What extra protected classes does Washington fair housing law add?
The WA Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) adds sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran/military status, and creed as protected classes beyond the seven federal Fair Housing Act classes.
