STEP #1 Pre-LicensE Course
The Broker Prelicensing class is designed to prepare you for a successful career in real estate. The completion of the 75 hour course and passing of the final exam is a requirement for most people to be eligible to take the NC real estate licensing exam. The Broker Prelicensing Course covers basic real estate principles and practices. The course will cover brokerage law, property tax, real estate financing, closings, brokerage relationships and practice, contracts and other topics.
STEP #2 Post-Licensing
Real estate licensees are required to complete the three Broker Postlicensing Courses within 18 months after receiving their original Broker License to remove the “provisional status” and/or stay on active status. You may take as many post classes you wish at the same time. Although they are Numbered 301, 302, and 303, you may take them in any order.
STEP #3 Continuing Education
The North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires that all licensees complete a minimum of eight hours of Continuing Education (including an update and an elective course) by June 10 of each year in order to renew a license.
Ethics course is a requirement only if you are a REALTOR@ (a memeber of an Association). The requirement is an Ethics course should be taken sometime within the prescribed THREE year time frame. Current time frame is between Jan 1, 2019-Dec 31,2024. You may take our provided ethics courses for both NCREC CE credit, as well as, NAR credit.

Immediately upon eligibility in 1997, I applied and received my NCREC approval to teach Real Estate Classes. In addition to teaching, real estate brokerage is a large aspect of my real estate career.

We can be found outside of work either on a ballfield, spending family time or near the water.
