Learn about the Mississippi real estate education needs for licensing and renewal.

Licensing Board/Commission: Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC)

Mississippi Real Estate License Requirements:

Many students take advantage of exam prep tailored for their state, to give them a higher chance of passing.

Mississippi State Reciprocity:

Any real estate licensee of another state who desires to obtain a license in Mississippi is exempt from the examination as long as the Commission feels the exam is equivalent to Mississippi’s and that state extends this same privilege or exemption to Mississippi real estate licensees.
