How to Get a Real Estate License in Tennessee

Tennessee has emerged as one of the hottest real estate markets in the South, with Nashville's explosive growth drawing national attention and Knoxville and Chattanooga increasingly attracting buyers priced out of larger metros. The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires 60 hours of pre-licensing education and uses PSI for the exam. Tennessee's no-state-income-tax policy continues to attract both businesses and residents from higher-tax states, keeping demand strong across most of the state's major markets — and giving new agents a built-in tailwind of motivated buyers who are newly arrived or planning to relocate.
