How to Get a Real Estate License in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania requires 75 hours of pre-licensing education and uses PSI for its licensing exam, administered under the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission within the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. The state's two major markets — Philadelphia and Pittsburgh — have very different personalities. Philadelphia is shaped by East Coast urban demand, strong university presence, and suburban growth in communities like Montgomery and Chester counties, while Pittsburgh has reinvented itself as a healthcare and technology hub with some of the most affordable urban home prices of any major city in the country.
