4 questions
Which body licenses and regulates real estate brokers in Nebraska?
- a.The Nebraska Association of Realtors
- b.The Nebraska Department of Revenue
- c.The Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC)✓
- d.The county register of deeds
The Nebraska Real Estate Commission licenses and regulates brokers and salespersons under the Nebraska Real Estate License Act (beginning at Section 81-885 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes). A trade association has no licensing authority, and neither the Department of Revenue nor the register of deeds regulates real estate licensing.
The Nebraska Real Estate License Act begins at approximately which section of the Nebraska Revised Statutes?
- a.Section 81-885✓
- b.Section 76-2,120
- c.Section 25-101
- d.Section 60-101
The Nebraska Real Estate License Act begins at Section 81-885 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes and is administered by the Nebraska Real Estate Commission. The other citations refer to unrelated portions of Nebraska law. Knowing the governing statute helps a broker locate the rules for licensing and discipline.
In Nebraska, a salesperson may perform licensed real estate activity only when:
- a.Approved individually for each sale by the Commission
- b.Affiliated with and supervised by a designated broker✓
- c.Registered with the county register of deeds
- d.Working independently after two years of experience
A Nebraska salesperson may act only while affiliated with and supervised by a designated broker and must be paid through that broker. A salesperson cannot operate independently, and licensed activity does not require individual Commission approval per sale or registration with the register of deeds.
Under the Nebraska broker examination structure, a candidate who fails one portion generally must:
- a.Retake only the failed portion within a week
- b.Wait one year with no retake
- c.Retake the whole examination✓
- d.Automatically receive a salesperson license
Per the Nebraska broker exam structure, a candidate who fails a portion retakes the whole examination rather than only the failed portion. This is a Nebraska-specific administrative feature that broker candidates should be aware of. Failing does not result in an automatic lower-tier license.
