How to Get a Real Estate License in Nebraska

Nebraska requires 66 hours of pre-licensing education and sets the minimum age at 19 — one of only a few states requiring applicants to be older than 18. The Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC) manages licensing, and the state's market is anchored by Omaha (a consistently underrated city with a growing tech and financial services sector, and home to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway) and Lincoln, the state capital and home to the University of Nebraska. Nebraska's stable economy and housing affordability make it a reliable market for agents focused on first-time buyers and long-term clients.
