A. 10 years
B. 5 years
C. 7 years
D. 3 years
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 10 years

  • B: 5 years is not the window specified for coursework in this regulation.
  • C: 7 years does not match the regulatory language.
  • D: 3 years is the timeframe for the broker exam itself, not the coursework completion window.
Source: 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 (Examination for broker's license)
Under 49 Pa. Code § 35.271, how many years of experience as a licensed salesperson (with experience the Commission considers adequate for broker practice) must an applicant generally have before applying for a Pennsylvania standard broker's license?
A. 3 years
B. 2 years
C. 1 year
D. 5 years
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 3 years

  • B: Two years is also short of the minimum required period under the regulation.
  • C: One year falls well short of the regulatory minimum experience period.
  • D: Five years exceeds what the regulation actually requires; Pennsylvania does not set the bar this high.
Source: 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 (Examination for broker's license)
An applicant for a Pennsylvania broker's license who has never held a salesperson license may still qualify for the experience requirement if they show:
A. A letter from any real estate attorney certifying good character
B. At least 3 years of other experience, education, or both, that the Commission considers equivalent to 3 years as a licensed salesperson
C. Ownership of at least one rental property for 3 years
D. Completion of the 60-hour salesperson pre-licensing curriculum only
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. At least 3 years of other experience, education, or both, that the Commission considers equivalent to 3 years as a licensed salesperson

  • A: An attorney's character letter is not the equivalency mechanism the regulation describes for the experience requirement.
  • C: Owning rental property is not listed in the regulation as a substitute for the 3-year experience requirement.
  • D: The 60-hour salesperson curriculum satisfies pre-license education for the entry-level license, not the broker-tier experience equivalency standard.
Source: 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 (Examination for broker's license)
What minimum age does 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 require for an applicant to sit for the Pennsylvania broker's licensing examination?
A. 18 years
B. 19 years
C. 21 years
D. 25 years
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. 21 years

  • A: 18 is the general age of majority but not the specific broker-exam minimum in the regulation.
  • B: 19 does not appear in the regulation as the applicable threshold.
  • D: 25 is higher than what the regulation actually requires.
Source: 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 (Examination for broker's license)
Besides the age requirement, what educational baseline does 49 Pa. Code § 35.271 require of every broker applicant, regardless of real estate coursework?
A. A bachelor's degree in business administration
B. An associate's degree in any field
C. Completion of a notary public course
D. A high school diploma or passage of a high school general education equivalency examination
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. A high school diploma or passage of a high school general education equivalency examination

  • A: A bachelor's degree in business administration is not required; the regulation's baseline is the high school/GED level.
  • B: An associate's degree in any field is not the baseline the regulation names.
  • C: A notary course is unrelated to the general education requirement in this regulation.
