How to Get Your Real Estate License in London, Ontario

London real estate market snapshot

London is Ontario's mid-size real estate market — large enough for sustained agent careers, small enough that personal reputation matters more than algorithmic lead generation. Median prices in 2026 hover around $640K.

Why license in London

London's agent-to-population ratio is favourable for new agents and the cost of running a real estate business is meaningfully lower than the GTA (lower marketing budgets, lower brokerage fees in some shops). Western University and Fanshawe College generate consistent rental and student-housing demand.

The licensing path from London

   Complete the Humber pre-registration program

   Courses 1-5 plus Simulations 1 and 2. Delivered fully online — no campus attendance required. Humber programs are online; London students complete remotely. Closest in-person Meazure centre is in London proper.

   Pass each exam through Meazure Learning

   Take exams online with remote proctoring or in person at the London centre. Each course exam is 100 multiple-choice questions, 150 minutes, 75% to pass.

3. 3

   Register with RECO and join LSTAR

   Submit your RECO application with brokerage sponsorship ($590 fee, 1-3 weeks for approval). Most London brokerages will then enrol you in London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS and OREA membership.
