NC Market Watch
North Carolina:
New Mandatory Update topics are now in effect
The 2026–2027 GENUP and BICUP courses became available on July 1.
The GENUP curriculum covers:
-
Appraisals
-
Fake sellers
-
Fair housing
-
NCREC frequently asked questions
-
Law and rules updates
-
Licensing and education updates
BICUP includes those subjects plus BIC responsibilities. Brokers may complete the course between July 1, 2026, and June 10, 2027. NCREC also confirmed that BIC-eligible brokers who take GENUP instead of BICUP will remain active but lose their BIC or BIC-eligible status.
Why it matters
These topics are an early indicator of where NCREC expects compliance problems and consumer harm during the coming license year. Fake-seller fraud, appraisal communications, supervision, advertising accuracy, and disclosure practices should therefore appear prominently in elective-course examples and case studies.
