North Carolina now has nearly 40,000 licensed real estate brokers, salesmen, and corporations; 500 to 600 new licensees are added each month; and more than 1,800 persons have been scheduled for real estate examinations in May. As a result of this dramatic increase in licensees, the staff of the Real Estate Licensing Board is faced with the formidable task of processing, storing, and retrieving volumes of new files, folders, forms and other records.

Computers are now routinely used to maintain many records, and all individual licensee files, both active and inactive, have been rearranged by license number (rather than name) to improve operational efficiency and maximize our storage capacity. It is, therefore, more important than ever that licensees give our staff their license numbers (on license certificate and pocket renewal card) when contacting our office. By doing so, we can locate your records and respond to your inquiries more quickly and easily.

So remember, when writing or calling our office
