Arizona-Specific Differences to Know
Arizona has several unique aspects to its real estate law that you must understand:
- Birthday Renewal: Arizona licenses expire every two years on the licensee's birthday (not December 31st or activation date)
- Community Property State: Arizona is one of only nine community property states; property acquired during marriage is owned equally by both spouses
- $1,500 Operating Fund: Brokers may keep up to $1,500 of personal funds in their operating account for fees
- Single Property Exemption: Property managers handling only one property don't need a license
- Irrevocable Consent: Non-resident licensees must file an irrevocable consent agreement allowing legal service in Arizona
- On-site File Storage: All closed transaction files must be maintained at the broker's office
- Verified Written Complaints: ADRE must investigate any verified written complaint from a consumer
Study Tips for Arizona Success
1. Master Arizona License Law: The Arizona Real Estate License Law is the foundation of many state exam questions. Study Title 4, Chapter 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
2. Understand Community Property: Arizona's community property laws are critical and appear frequently on the exam. Know the difference between community and separate property.
3. Practice Daily: Consistent daily practice is more effective than cramming. Aim for at least 10-15 questions per day leading up to your exam.
4. Focus on Weak Areas: After each practice session, identify topics where you're struggling and dedicate extra study time to those areas.
5. Know the Numbers: Arizona has specific dollar amounts and timeframes ($1,500 operating fund, $250,000 homestead exemption, 2-year license term, 6-year Advisory Board terms, etc.). Memorize these.
