Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about licensing and coursework.
How long does it take to get a real estate license in North Carolina?
After completing our 75-hour pre-licensing course (typically 4-6 weeks), you can take the state exam. Once you pass, you can begin practicing immediately. Most students are licensed and earning income within 8-12 weeks of starting classes.
Can I keep my current job while taking real estate classes?
Absolutely! Our evening and weekend classes are specifically designed for working professionals. Many of our successful graduates completed their training while maintaining their full-time jobs.
What's the difference between online and in-person classes?
Both formats cover the same NC-approved curriculum. In-person classes offer face-to-face interaction and networking opportunities, while online provides maximum flexibility. Our hybrid option combines both for the best of both worlds.

Income varies based on experience and effort, but the median real estate agent salary in North Carolina is $67,000 annually, with top performers earning six figures. Unlike traditional jobs, your income potential in real estate is unlimited.
