California Real Estate study guide

What is inside

400 prompts across DRE salesperson topics: property ownership, land use, agency law, fiduciary duties, contracts, financing, transfers, disclosures (transfer disclosure statement, agency disclosure), and practice-of-real-estate regulations. Math cards cover prorations, commission splits, and loan-to-value setups.

Plan with the free CA mock

Complete pre-license coursework first, then 20 cards/day. Run the free California practice test at 30 days out; concentrate on agency and disclosure cards if those domains score lowest. California-specific disclosure timing is repeated more than national decks cover.

Pitfalls this deck targets

Applicants confuse agency relationships (seller's agent vs dual agent), disclosure delivery deadlines, and trust fund handling. Cards use California statutory framing.

The California Department of Real Estate (DRE) salesperson exam qualifies candidates for a California real estate license. This page summarizes structure and topic areas and independent UniPrep2Go study products (not official DRE material).
