Minnesota Questions
How many hours of pre-licensing education does Minnesota require?
Minnesota salesperson applicants complete 90 hours of pre-licensing coursework, then pass the state and national exams. KLRE scholarship students complete the full 90 hours and our standard is to finish in under 30 days. Always confirm current requirements with the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
Who issues a Minnesota real estate license?
The Minnesota Department of Commerce licenses real estate salespeople. You also need a sponsoring broker, which is the brokerage you hang your license with. At KLRE that is us.
Does KLRE pay for the Minnesota course?
For approved applicants who are not yet licensed, yes. The scholarship pays for the pre-licensing course and exam prep in exchange for a 12-month full-time commitment to KLRE after you are licensed.
What is the Kris Lindahl Real Estate Scholarship?
It is how the right people get into real estate with Kris Lindahl Real Estate (KLRE) without paying to get started. Approved applicants who are not yet licensed have their pre-licensing course and exam prep paid for, then join the KLRE team to sell with company-set appointments, weekly coaching from Kris, and a brand about 90% of our business comes through.
What do I commit to in return?
A 12-month, full-time commitment to KLRE after you are licensed. The scholarship is a two-way commitment. We invest in your license, training and mentorship, and you commit your full effort to the work for a year.
Do I need sales experience?
Yes. We do not teach selling from scratch. Our brand is too big to start at the very beginning, and the people who thrive here already know how to talk to people and close. Servers, bartenders, hospitality pros, teachers, auto and home improvement sales, new construction sales, property managers and licensed agents whose sphere has dried up all fit. Your title does not have to say sales.
How long does it take to get licensed?
Our standard is under 30 days from starting the course to holding a license. Three recent scholarship students finished all 90 hours of Minnesota pre-licensing coursework and passed both the state and national exams in under two weeks.
