Tennessee brokers face new education rules

Beginning January 1, 2026, Tennessee real estate brokers must show proof of completed education to renew their licenses. They must complete 120 classroom hours within three years after their original broker license is issued. Courses must be in real estate at a school, college, or university approved by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Starting with the next license period after completing those hours, brokers must certify completion of 16 classroom hours every two years. Brokers originally licensed before January 1, 2005, who supervise no affiliate brokers are exempt from the 16-hour rule. That exemption does not cover the initial 120-hour requirement.
