Iowa requires a mandatory disclosure form that exists in no other state, and candidates who have never encountered it fail an entire category of questions they did not know to prepare for.
National courses were not written around Iowa’s specific disclosure requirements, because those requirements are unique to this state. Generic prep platforms and AI tools trained on multistate content produce questions that reflect what most states do. Iowa does not do what most states do, and the exam tests the difference.
The License Professor is written by licensed Iowa professionals who know the PSI state portion’s content. Every question on Iowa disclosure requirements, agency timing rules, and trust account compliance is grounded in Iowa law.
Three Topics that Trip Up Iowa Students Most
Groundwater Hazard Statements
Iowa uniquely requires a Groundwater Hazard Statement filed with the county recorder for most transfers, disclosing wells, burial sites, underground storage tanks, and hazardous waste — if no hazards exist, the deed itself must include specific statutory exemption language.
Agency Disclosure Timing
Unlike states requiring disclosure at "first substantial contact," Iowa ties it to the moment the licensee provides "specific assistance" — candidates from other states instinctively choose the wrong trigger point.
Continuing Education Audits
Iowa doesn’t require CE certificates at renewal, but the Commission conducts random audits requiring proof — failure to produce certificates during an audit can constitute a violation even if the courses were actually completed.
The Iowa Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.
