What must a licensee in North Carolina do to act as a broker-in-charge?

To act as a broker-in-charge in North Carolina, a licensee must complete a specific educational requirement known as the broker-in-charge annual review course, which is 4 hours long. This course is designed to update the broker-in-charge on regulatory changes and best practices in real estate. It ensures that they remain knowledgeable about current laws, policies, and ethical considerations relevant to their role, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of real estate transactions and for providing proper oversight of the brokerage.

While attending workshops and completing continuing education are important for overall professional development in real estate, they do not specifically fulfill the requirement to become or remain a broker-in-charge. Additionally, the necessity to pass a state exam every year is not a requirement for maintaining the broker-in-charge designation; rather, it is the completion of the dedicated review course that maintains expertise relevant to the responsibilities associated with being a broker-in-charge.
