Jamaica REB Salesman Exam

The Board's route is the Pre-licensing Salesman Course, advertised as 130 lecture hours with no interview required; the posted online intake runs March 13, 2027 to June 20, 2027, with a November 27, 2026 deadline and a non-refundable JMD $1,500 application fee. Confirm the current intake and eligibility rules with the Board before applying.

Six domains: real estate principles and practices; Jamaican real estate law and legislation; law of contract and property transactions; valuation and appraisal; real estate finance and mortgages; and professional ethics, conduct and regulatory compliance. Expect applied, scenario-style questions rather than pure definitions, so link each rule to a transaction you could actually handle.

Most failures come from memorising definitions without applying them. Weak spots are usually contract formation and remedies, mortgage mechanics, and valuation approaches mixed up with each other. If you can explain why a particular clause or method applies to a given property scenario, you are ready for the harder items.

Start with principles and practices to build vocabulary, then law and contract, since those underpin finance and valuation. Add valuation and finance next, and finish with ethics and compliance, which is easiest to revise late. Keep a one-page error log of every question you miss and re-test those topics weekly.

Retake rules, waiting periods and any fees are set by the Board and are not published in the material available to us, so treat them as unknown. Before you sit, ask the Board directly about retake policy and how long a pass or course completion remains valid.

Plan around the course schedule rather than a fixed number of weeks. If you are taking the advertised online intake, treat the roughly three-month weekend run as your study window and add two to three weeks of timed practice questions at the end. Candidates with no property background should start reading earlier.

Yes - the Board states that licence renewal is subject to completion of required CPD courses and submission of all required documentation. The Board also posts licence renewal notices for salesmen and dealers, so diarise your renewal date and confirm the cycle in force with the Board rather than assuming.
