How to get your #RealEstate license...
Ever wondered about starting a new career? Ever considered
that career being in Real Estate? Because of the diversity of the housing
markets, a wide range of skills or other careers can be easily transitioned over
into this business… In the 5 short years that I’ve been in practice I’ve worked
in just about every aspect of the Real Estate market…
Here’s the short version:
A quick list of all the jobs I’ve performed in Real Estate…

If you have a back ground in sales, education, management
etc… You may be a wonderful candidate for Real Estate…
With me, as a small child I was always moving… I often
wondered to myself, “What if I could be responsible for finding nice homes for
children and families?” Back then, you didn’t see many women of color in the
business so it never seemed obtainable to me… Finally after several other
career choices and a pending divorce, I packed up for a move to the state
capital to realize my dream of becoming a successful Real Estate Broker. The
road was not easy by any account but I made passing the 75 hour pre-licensing
course my main priority. Before even making the decision to take the class, one
must clearly decide on 1 of 2 options: 1. Am I just making a $400 donation to
this Real Estate school with no real intention of passing? 2. Am I making a
career switch to something that can sustain wealth growth for my family for
years to come?
For the sake of knowing that with most people, wasting money
is not an option, I am hoping your choice is the latter. If so, here are the
rules and regulations on who needs a Real Estate license and what one must do
to obtain it.
Who needs a Real Estate license? Think L.L.B.E.A.N.S.
Anyone who Lists, Leases, Buys, Exchanges, Auctions,
Negotiates or Sells Real Estate on behalf of someone else must have a valid NC
Real Estate license….
How might one go about getting this license?
1.
Locate a school offering the 75 hour broker
pre-licensing course/take course & pass
2.
Pass the NC State Board Real Estate licensing
exam
4.
Submit your application for license along with
your criminal background check
5.
Unless character issues are found with your criminal
background check, you will be issued a provisional
real estate license and you can find a firm to work for and began practicing
immediately… Don’t discouraged if you have character issues, they may deny you
and you will have to request a hearing. Unless you used to be a serial rapist
or registered sex offender, you will probably receive your license.
