Pass your Nebraska Salesperson or Broker License
Nebraska has required written seller property condition disclosure since 1994, and the NREC tests the delivery timing and damages window with precision that generic courses never reach.
National prep materials teach property condition disclosure as a common requirement. Nebraska’s version has specific timing rules and a one year damages window that generic platforms collapse into general principles. AI generated question banks cannot verify whether their content reflects Nebraska’s specific requirements, and candidates who study from those banks arrive with the wrong answers.
The License Professor is written by licensed Nebraska professionals who understand what Pearson VUE tests in the state portion. Every question on Nebraska disclosure rules, statutory agency policy requirements, and Commission enforcement authority is drawn from Nebraska law.

Three Topics that Trip Up Nebraska Students Most
Seller Property Condition
Nebraska has required written seller property condition disclosure since 1994 for all 1-4 unit residential sales, delivered before any binding contract — students confuse "before contract" with "at closing" and miss the one-year damages filing window.
Read more →Statutory Agency Law
Every designated broker must adopt a written policy identifying all agency relationships the firm will offer, and written agreements must be in place before any brokerage activity — students who skip the written-policy-first requirement get the sequence wrong.
Licensee Advertising
Nebraska demands the broker’s registered business name on all advertising, and team names must include the word "team" or "group" — students who memorize other states’ rules fail Nebraska questions about franchise name display requirements.
The Nebraska Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.

How fees work
Unlike most Pearson VUE states, Nebraska's exam fee isn't paid to Pearson VUE at scheduling — it's paid directly to NREC as part of your application, before you're even authorized to test.
Cost structure
- Pre-licensing (66 hours): $300-$600

- License application fee: $175
- Salesperson original license fee: $90

Retake rules
Pass one portion, fail the other: retake only the failed portion, within 3 attempts or 6 months (whichever comes first). Miss that window and you retake the full exam, resetting your retention clock. Retakes cost $150.
Topics Covered on the Nebraska Real Estate Exam
National Exam Topics (80 questions)
- Real Property Characteristics, Legal Descriptions, and Property Use (11 items)
- Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title (9 items)
- Property Value and Appraisal (11 items)
- Real Estate Contracts and Agency (16 items) — the largest national category
- Real Estate Practice (10 items)

Nebraska State Exam Topics (50 questions)
- Duties and Powers of the Real Estate Commission (5 items) — investigations, disciplinary action

- Statutory Requirements Governing Licensee Activities (15 items) — advertising, broker supervision (including Teams), the 72-hour funds rule
- Agency (17-18 items) — over a third of the state exam: licensee duties, required disclosures, cooperative transactions, closings
- Additional Topics (5 items) — subdivided/out-of-state land sales, Nebraska Fair Housing Law, equitable interest
Why this list matters
Agency alone is over a third of the state exam. Combined with Statutory Requirements (15 items), these two categories cover nearly two-thirds of Nebraska's state-specific content.
What this list doesn't tell you
Nebraska's "funds of others/72-hour rule" and "Teams" sub-topic are specific, named items you won't find phrased this way in generic national prep — study the actual Nebraska statute language.
