How to Get a Real Estate License in Mississippi

Mississippi has a one-year license renewal cycle — one of only a few states with annual renewals — requiring agents to complete 16 hours of continuing education every year without exception. The Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC) oversees the process with 60 hours of required pre-licensing education before the PSI exam. Mississippi's real estate market offers some of the most affordable home prices in the country, creating consistent demand from first-time buyers and cash-flow investors who can achieve rental yields that are hard to find in higher-priced markets. The Gulf Coast communities, including Biloxi and Gulfport, add a vacation and second-home market layer.
