North Carolina License Requirements

There are two types of real estate licenses in North Carolina: a provisional broker license and a broker license.

The requirements for a provisional broker license are:

Be at least 18 years old
Complete a 75-hour pre-licensing course in a live classroom
Pass the Commissioner’s license exam.

Once a provisional broker satisfies all post-licensing requirements, he or she becomes a broker. North Carolina’s post-licensing requirements require the successful completion of three specific real estate courses:

Broker Relationships & Responsibilities
Contracts & Closings
Selected Topics

In total, these courses are 90 hours of professional education. The broker needs to complete 30 of those hours, during the first year of licensure.
