Alabama requires aspiring agents to be at least 19 years old — one of only a handful of states with a minimum age above 18 — and complete 60 hours of pre-licensing coursework before sitting for the PSI exam. The Alabama Real Estate Commission (AREC) has regulated the profession in the state since the early 20th century and maintains a straightforward licensing process. With affordable home prices and steady population growth in cities like Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama offers solid entry-level opportunities for new agents building their first client base.
