What is the REALM Portal?
It’s the Real Estate and Appraiser License Management (REALM) Portal—a modern online licensing system created to simplify the way TREC-TALCB real estate professionals manage their license.
The REALM Portal offers a more secure, user-friendly experience with modern features that make managing your license faster and easier—from updating personal information to online renewals.
In a nutshell, the REALM Portal will allow for fully digital license management. This includes an entirely online experience for license application and renewals. Supporting documents can also be uploaded in the REALM Portal and complaints can be filed, all in one place.
You can renew your license, update your contact information, track CE, track and manage your application, view your license history, and more.

Do I need to reapply or resubmit my information?
No. Your existing license information and application records will automatically transfer to the REALM Portal.
Will my license number look different in the REALM Portal?
As part of the transition to the REALM Portal, license numbers will include a short letter code after the existing number to identify the license type. For example, if your sales agent license number was 12345 in the old system, it will soon appear as 12345-SA in the REALM Portal. These letters help quickly identify the type of license you hold and will be printed on your official license documents.
Your original license number will remain the same—only the added suffix is new.
Will I need to use my license number with the new suffix on contracts, in advertising, or on the Information About Brokerage Services form?
No.
Will my license expiration date or renewal cycle change?
No. Your license expiration date and renewal schedule will remain the same.
