Go School of Real Estate

So, you want to pursue a real estate license in NC? Well, get ready to be #GoSchooled!

This course is the prerequisite to taking the state's real estate licensing exam. Upon successful completion of the course you will submit a license application and criminal background report. Upon approval by the NC Real Estate Commission, you'll be invited to take the real estate licensing exam. Upon passing the real estate licensing exam, a NC Real Estate Provisional Broker License will be issued which will allow you to affiliate with a Broker-in-Charge/brokerage firm and begin earning income as a real estate broker. All NC real estate brokers with provisional status must complete 90-hours of additional post-licensing education within 18-months of licensure in order to remove the provisional status.
