The Process
The first step for obtaining your NC real estate license is to successfully complete the pre-licensing course from a registered Real Estate School. The 75-hour class will prepare you to take and pass the NC State License Exam.
Once you receive a passing grade from the course work you will be given a certificate that indicates you are ready to sit for the State License Exam.
You will then be expected to apply to take the NC State License Exam by completing a license application, consenting to a background check, paying appropriate fees and submitting all required documentation to the NC Real Estate Commission. Many applicants will also take a short review session to prep for the exam.
You then contact the testing service to pay the examination fee and to schedule and take the license examination. You will learn quickly whether you passed or not.
Once you have successfully completed these steps you will receive your provisional license in approximately a week. You may affiliate with a fully licensed firm as a provisional broker. You may provide real estate services as long as you are doing so under the supervision of a broker-in-charge of a licensed company.
In order to become a full-fledged broker, you are required to take three 30-hour post-licensing courses within the next 18 months.
Please consult the Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina booklet published by the NC Real Estate Commission for more details on real estate licensing in NC.
