Pass your Alabama Salesperson or Broker License
Alabama is one of the only states still operating under Caveat Emptor, and every candidate trained on national materials walks in expecting rules that do not apply here.
Courses built for a national audience teach seller disclosure as the default. Alabama takes a different approach, and the gap between what candidates expect and what AREC actually enforces is wide enough to fail entire sections. AI generated question banks were built for states with mandatory disclosure regimes. The content that defines Alabama exam performance was never part of those banks because those banks were not written by people who practice in this state.
The License Professor is built by licensed Alabama professionals who know what AREC tests. Every question on AREC regulations, trust accounting rules, and brokerage procedures is drawn from Alabama law and Commission rule, not from a shared national bank.
Three Topics that Trip Up Alabama Students Most
Caveat Emptor Rule
Alabama is one of only a handful of states that still follows "buyer beware" for used homes, meaning sellers have almost no duty to disclose defects — students bomb this because they confuse the three narrow exceptions (fiduciary duty, health/safety threats, direct buyer inquiry) with the full-disclosure rules taught in national prep.
RECAD Disclosures
The Real Estate Consumers Agency and Disclosure Act requires both a Brokerage Services Disclosure form AND an Agency Disclosure Office Policy, and the exam tests exact timing and signature requirements that trip up students who lump all Alabama disclosure forms together.
License Status
Alabama only recognizes two license statuses — active or inactive — with no referral or retired option, and an inactive license automatically expires after 24 consecutive months, catching students who assume more flexibility.
The Alabama Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.
