How to Get a Real Estate License in Indiana

Indiana requires 90 hours of pre-licensing education and operates on a three-year renewal cycle — giving newly licensed agents a slightly longer runway before their first renewal than the two-year standard most states use. The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) manages real estate licensing under the Indiana Real Estate Commission. Indiana's affordable housing market — with median home prices consistently below the national average — creates a strong first-time buyer pool that keeps transaction volume high and gives new agents consistent opportunities to build experience without competing in a prohibitively expensive market.
