How to become a Real Estate Agent in Nebraska

I became a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Nebraska back in 2003 and it was one of the best things I ever did.  When I look back at the time I remember being excited and overwhelmed at the same time.  It’s difficult to find the resources needed and not feel overwhelmed with the process.  You are in luck!  Please reference this article to walk you through the process.

• The first step is to fill out an application with the Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC).
