How to Get a Real Estate License in Kansas

Kansas requires 60 hours of pre-licensing education and uses Pearson VUE for its licensing examination. The Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC) publishes clear guidance for new applicants and maintains a list of approved education providers. The state's market is anchored by the Kansas City metro (which spans both Kansas and Missouri), Wichita, and a network of smaller agricultural communities where local market knowledge — property tax implications, rural land assessment, and agricultural lease structures — matters just as much as formal credentials.
