California Real Estate License

A California real estate license authorizes individuals to legally facilitate property transactions—buying, selling, leasing—on behalf of clients. To obtain it, one must complete required education, pass a state exam, and meet licensing standards. Licensed agents work under a broker's supervision, adhere to legal and ethical standards, and are compensated through commissions. The license ensures competent, knowledgeable professionals serve the public in real estate dealings, safeguarding interests and maintaining industry integrity.
