How To Get An Oregon Real Estate Property Manager License

To be a property manager in Oregon you must obtain a property manager real estate license from the Oregon Real Estate Agency. This can be done by following these steps:

1. Enroll in the OnlineEd course;

2. Submit a license application and pay the licensing fee (presently $230*) to the Oregon Real Estate Agency sometime before completion of your coursework;

3. Complete your OnlineEd Oregon property manager pre-license training course and confirm with us that you have submitted your license application to the Oregon REA by providing the nine digit ID# given to by you by the Oregon Real Estate Agency once they receive your license application;

4. We will upload your licensing exam eligibility file and required personal information to PSI, the licensing exam proctor;

5. Schedule and pay for your licensing examination (presently $75*) by contacting PSI through their web site;

6. Sit for and pass the licensing exam at the PSI location and time you select through the PSI web site;

7. At the PSI exam center, if you pass the licensing exam, complete and pay for the background authorization form and fingerprinting (presently $61.25*);

8. Pass your background check;

9. Decide if you will work with another property manager or under the supervision of an Oregon principal real estate broker, or if you will be working independently. If working under the license of another, the responsible individual will place your license under theirs. If working on your own, you can use the Oregon REA's online system to process your license status.

10. Activate and print your license!

The fingerprints collected at the PSI testing center are sent electronically to the Oregon Real Estate Agency, who then digitally transfers them to law enforcement for processing. If you pass the licensing exam AND background check, you will receive an email from the Oregon Real Estate Agency with a hyperlink to access your license.
