How to get licensed as a Realtor in North Carolina.
Real estate brokers in North Carolina are licensed by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission. Every new broker follows the same six steps.
Something in your background?
If you are unsure whether a past matter could affect your application, you can ask the Commission for a pre-determination before you invest in the course.
Plan ahead
What it costs, how long it takes.
Your licensing costs
| Item | Paid to | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 75-hour prelicensing course | Your school | Varies by school |
| Criminal record report | CriminalRecordCheck.com | Typically under $50 |
| License application | NC Real Estate Commission | $105 |
| State exam, both sections | Pearson VUE | $63 |
| Retake of one section, if needed | Pearson VUE | $53 |
| Pre-determination, optional | NC Real Estate Commission | $45 |
Plan on about $220 in fees, plus tuition. The criminal record report costs more if you have lived outside North Carolina in the past seven years.
How long each step takes
- Your pace

The way you learn. Choose live classroom, livestream or self-paced to fit your life.
Real instructors. Look for access to instructors and exam prep included.
Please note Fees and requirements are as published in October 2026 and may change. Confirm current details with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission at ncrec.gov.
What to expect
Licensed to practice, equipped to sell.
Real estate is a pay-to-play industry. Unlimited earning potential, reached at rapid speed, starts with an upfront investment. Your coach will walk you through each one.

- MLS and lockbox
- Subscribe to the multiple listing service for your market, such as Doorify MLS (formerly Triangle MLS) or Hive MLS (costs below), and complete its training. An electronic lockbox key for showings carries its own fee.
- Errors and omissions
- Insurance that protects you and your clients if a mistake is alleged. You enroll during onboarding and pay for your own coverage.
- Your business tools
- A smartphone, a laptop or tablet, a reliable vehicle with appropriate auto insurance, a professional headshot and a modest marketing budget for your first clients.
- Every year
- License renewal by June 30 ($50), continuing education after your first license period, association dues and MLS fees.

Money and time
Invest wisely, launch steadily.
Your first-year start-up costs
| Item | Estimate |

| Licensing fees: application, exam and criminal record report | About $220 |
| Prelicensing course tuition | Varies by school |

Fund your vision before you launch.
Commissions are paid at closing, and your first may arrive several months after you are licensed. Before stepping away from other income, make sure your launch is fully funded: your start-up costs, marketing for your first clients and several months of personal expenses. Your coach will help you plan a confident transition.
You are in business for yourself
Brokers affiliated with Nobilis are independent contractors: no salary and no tax withholding.
Set aside for taxes
Put a portion of every commission check aside before you spend it.
Pay quarterly
Self-employed brokers generally make estimated tax payments each quarter.
Track expenses
Keep records of mileage, dues, fees and marketing from day one.
Please note Estimates use the costs above as of October 2026; yours depend on your market and choices. This is general guidance, not tax advice; talk with a tax professional.
