Is your real estate license "inactive" because you did not complete your continuing education by the June 10 deadline? Do you now wish to activate it?
To change your license to ACTIVE status, you must make up any deficiency in your continuing education. This will necessitate your completing a minimum of four classroom hours of instruction, depending upon the number of hours you completed last year. Please refer to the chart on this page to determine the additional credits necessary in your particular situation.
To activate your real estate license, you must also file a "request for license activation" form prescribed by the Commission.
Upon mailing or delivering the activation form to the Commission, you may immediately engage in real estate activities. (A salesman must be supervised by a broker-in-charge). The Commission will acknowledge your license activation after checking your continuing education record. But, if you have not received the Commission's written acknowledgement within thirty days of the date shown on theform, you must immediately terminate all real estate brokerage activities - pending its receipt.
In addition, a "notification of salesman supervision" form is required in order to activate a salesman license. It must be completed by the salesman and broker-in-charge of the office where the salesman will work. The salesman may begin working as soon as the form has been mailed or delivered but must cease all real estate activities if an acknowledgement has not been received from the Commission within 30 days
The nonrefundable evaluation fee which must accompany each request for equivalent credit has been reduced from $50 to $30. Since this is a per request fee, the request may include more than one course or educational activity.
The fee will be only $20 for licensees requesting credit for a CE or prelicensing/precertification course approved by the N.C. Appraisal Board.
Effective July 1, 1995, nonresidents (1) must submit a fee of $20 per course to obtain credit for a CE course completed in another state and not approved by the N.C. Real Estate Commission and (2) will not receive any carry-over credit for courses not approved by the N.C. Real Estate Commission.
