Yes. You can save time and money by obtaining a South Carolina Associate real estate license before obtaining a North Carolina Provisional Broker license.
How is this possible?
By obtaining your SC's Associate license first, applicants will only be required to take the pre-licensing course and state board exams for South Carolina.
NC's License Law Exemption: North Carolina's license laws provide licensees from another state an exemption from completing the NC's pre-licensing and state board exams.
The licensee will simply apply to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and check the box on the application for the exam exemption, provide proof that the license is in good standing, complete the state-required background check, and pay all necessary fees to receive an NC's Provisional Broker license.
It sounds too easy..it is.
Are there any other examinations once you have obtained your North Carolina Provisional Broker's license using the above method?
Yes. You're required to complete 90 hours of Post Licensing courses (301, 302, and 303) within 18 months to remove the provisional status from your licensure. Licensees must successfully pass the examination for each course. Licensees are not required to complete North Carolina's State board exams.
What if you get your North Carolina Broker license before you get your South Carolina Associate Real Estate License?
