Yes, your real estate license application can be submitted online in Nebraska. The Commission does offer the option to download the application for mailing in, but processing takes longer.

The license application fee is $135 paid to the Nebraska Real Estate Commission. You also pay the $150 license examination fee at the same time.

Include with the salesperson application: ● Proof of your high school education or its equivalent ● Proof of pre-licensing education either as transcripts or certificates of completion ● A passport-type photograph showing your head and shoulders sized at least 2x2 inches and taken within the last year

Your salesperson license application will be filed with the Nebraska Real Estate Commission after you complete the pre-license education and before you take the state licensing exam. This is the required progression from the NREC.

You have 30 days after passing the state licensing exam to submit your license issuance form. You'll need to include the license issuance fee in the signature of your employing broker.

No. In order to complete your license issuance form, it must be signed by an employee broker indicating you agreed to be employed by and supervised by that licensed real estate professional.

If you hold an inactive real estate license, you cannot engage in any real estate brokerage activities. An active salesperson license means you can work as a real estate agent, perform real estate brokerage activities, and be compensated for work as a real estate professional.

There are two ways you can get an inactive NE Real Estate salesperson license. You can either request to be placed on inactive status by going to the licensee portal or your broker can submit a termination of affiliation form to the Commission office. You will go inactive on the date the Commission receives the request

You will need to meet any required continuing education you may still need. You will need to go online to the license portal and fill out a transfer form from inactive to active status.

While both types of licenses enable you to work in the business of real estate, a salesperson license entitles you to work under the supervision of a licensed real estate broker. An employing broker license enables you to open an independent brokerage and hire employees to work under you.

Go to the Nebraska Real Estate Commission license portal to the licensing applicant look-up section. Here you'll be able to find your status.

You can purchase a policy from the Nebraska Real Estate Commission E&O group plan, or you can purchase from any company authorized by the state of Nebraska Department of Insurance.
