FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to get a license all together?
For the Live Course (in-person or via Zoom), the course is $400, which includes a hardcopy of the textbook. There may be additional charges for any type of optional exam study materials that we offer.

What is the difference between an Agent and a Broker?
In North Carolina, the entry-level license is called a Broker License. At first, you’ll be what we call a Provisional Broker. In order to be a full broker in North Carolina, you’ll have to pass your post licensing courses, which are a total of 90 hours (three 30-hour courses). You have 18 months from the date that your license is issued, to get those three courses completed. However, as a provisional broker, you can do the same things that a full broker can do; there are no restrictions, other than what your supervising broker doesn’t want you to do. For example, if you wanted to do commercial real estate, and you are working with a residential firm, your Broker In Charge might deny that request. It’s important to find a good Broker In Charge, and we can help with that.
Do I have to complete quizzes or tests to pass the course?
The quizzes are not required for passing the course, but you must achieve at least a 75% on the course final exam. You may retake the final exam two additional times if you do not pass on the first attempt. The final exam can be proctored online if you’re not able to come to our office in Spring Hope.
