What to Expect
In Nebraska, you must complete 66 hours of pre-license education approved by the Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC) before applying for a real estate salesperson license. This typically includes two 30-hour courses and a separate 6-hour course focusing on Professional Conduct and Trust Accounts.

FAQs About Getting a Real Estate License in Nebraska
To make the process easier, here are the most common questions we get from students becoming agents about what it takes to get licensed and start a career in real estate.
According to recent data, the average annual income for real estate agents in Nebraska is approximately $120,000.
However, income varies by city, market trends, and experience level. Agents who focus on lead generation, client networking, and continuous education tend to maximize their earning potential.
The total cost to obtain a Nebraska real estate license ranges from $687 to $1,200, depending on your education provider and exam attempts.
- Pre-Licensing Education: $248–$627
- License Application Fee: $135
- Exam Fee: $150 per attempt
- Fingerprinting & Background Check: $38–$45
- Original License Fee: $70
- Errors & Omissions Insurance: ~$125 (required for activation)
- Post-Licensing Education: ~$149 (required within 180 days)
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy working with people, and want the potential for high earnings, becoming a real estate agent in Nebraska can be very rewarding.
While it takes time to build up a network and secure steady income, the flexibility and growth potential often make this career path worthwhile for motivated individuals.
Real estate is a relationship-driven business requiring excellent communication skills, self-motivation, and perseverance. Expect to spend weekends showing properties, networking, and marketing to grow your client base.
You’ll also need to stay informed about local market conditions and state regulations to effectively guide your clients through each transaction.
Nebraska does not maintain formal reciprocity agreements with any other state, so out-of-state licensees must follow specific steps to secure a Nebraska real estate license.
If you hold an active real estate license in another state, you may be eligible for a Nebraska license by recognition, meaning you won’t need the full pre-licensing education or the national exam—provided you meet certain criteria.
You must submit an official application, pay a $135 application fee plus a $70–$80 license issuance fee, and undergo a fingerprint-based background check.
Additionally, you’ll need a certification of license history from your current state confirming that your license is active and in good standing. You must also complete a three-hour course on Nebraska Agency Statutes and License Law from an approved provider.
Nebraska requires 18 hours of continuing education during each two-year renewal cycle. Of those 18 hours
Once you have your license, your next focus is building a strong career foundation:
- Join your local REALTORS® association and subscribe to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
- Develop a solid marketing plan, including social media presence, website optimization, and networking strategies.
- Pursue advanced or specialty training in areas such as commercial real estate, property management, or residential rentals to stand out in the market.
