New License Holder? Find Out Why You Need SAE and How to Get It

August 01, 2018

During the first two years of being a license holder, you must complete 98 hours of Salesperson Apprentice Education (SAE) in addition to the 180 you’ve already earned to get your real estate license. Courses cover topics such as legal information, appraisals, brokerage, and investments.

The Texas REALTORS® has made it easy to complete your requirements with the 98-hour Texas SAE Package at tru.theceshop.com. Select Texas and Post-Licensing-Sales License to find the correct package.

The GRI designation counts as SAE, too

Earning your Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation also satisfies your requirements for license renewal. Plus, you receive a $50 discount when you sign up for a GRI class within your first year of membership. Visit texasrealestate.com/gri for more information about the GRI and to find your discount.
