Your Guide to North Carolina Real Estate Post-Licensing Requirements

By Brent White

 

So, you have passed your pre-licensing course work and the North Carolina Real Estate exam! Congratulations! What comes next?

 

While you may think that your hard work and studying is over, you still have much to learn that will help you in your new profession as a Licensed North Carolina Real Estate Agent and will help you to graduate from a provisional license to a full broker.

 

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires that Provisional Brokers complete all 3 Post-Licensing courses within 18 months of initial licensure to retain eligibility to actively engage in real estate brokerage. Each Post-Licensing course is 30-hours in length and covers essential information that you will need in your career.

 

At Carolina School of Real Estate, we recommend that you take your North Carolina Post- Licensing courses soon after passing your state exam and becoming a provisional broker. The material you learn in these courses is quite important, and the courses take some time, so you do not want to leave them for the last minute. To help you with this goal, we offer a special package price for customers who purchase all three Post-Licensing Courses at once of $650 for all three classes including the textbook!

 

Here is a brief summary of what you learn in each of the Post-Licensing required courses. You may take them in any order, so long as all three are completed within the 18 month deadline.

 

Post 301: Broker Relationships and Responsibilities
This course entails a review of agency relationships (in real estate residential and commercial sales and commercial property management transactions), a real estate broker’s legal duties to clients and customers, a step-by-step review and discussion of the functions and responsibilities of a real estate broker when working with sellers and buyers, a review of issues associated with transactions in progress when a broker leaves a firm, and a review of license status and education issues.
