Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the Nebraska real estate salesperson exam?

The Nebraska salesperson exam has 130 scored questions: 80 on the national portion (150 minutes) and 50 on the Nebraska state-specific portion (90 minutes), for a total of 4 hours. You must pass each section with a score of 70%. PSI administers the exam. There may also be a small number of unscored experimental questions embedded in the exam that are not identified.

What are Nebraska's pre-license education requirements?

As of January 1, 2026, Nebraska requires 96 hours of NREC-approved pre-license education (increased from the previous 66-hour requirement). After passing the PSI exam, you must also complete a 12-hour post-license course within 180 days of license activation. The minimum age requirement is 19 years old — one year older than most states.

What is Nebraska's 72-hour trust account rule?

Nebraska's 72-hour rule requires that all trust account funds (earnest money, deposits, etc.) must be deposited into a trust account within 72 hours of receipt. This is a Nebraska-specific rule and is more specific than the 'reasonable time' standard used in many other states. In cooperative transactions, the listing broker is responsible for placing earnest money into their trust account within 72 hours after all parties have executed the purchase agreement.

When must Nebraska real estate licenses be renewed?

Nebraska real estate licenses expire on November 30 every two years. To renew, salesperson licensees must complete 18 hours of NREC-approved continuing education, of which at least 6 hours must be NREC-designated 'R' courses (courses covering specific Nebraska-mandated topics). All licensees must also maintain Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance as a condition of license renewal.
