To qualify for a Nevada Real Estate License, you must complete 120 hours of state-approved pre-licensing education. These hours are split into two critical components: 90 hours covering Real Estate Principles, which lays the groundwork for understanding national real estate practices, and 30 hours dedicated to Nevada-specific Law, ensuring you’re well-versed in the regulations unique to Nevada. This comprehensive education is designed not only to meet state requirements but also to prepare you thoroughly for the Nevada Real Estate Licensing Exam.

Whether you’re balancing a job, family commitments, or other responsibilities, our online platform is accessible 24/7, enabling you to tailor your study sessions to fit your lifestyle.

A modern learning software should encourage collaborative learning – the ability to follow and share colleague updates, join communities, discuss projects and learning, and share appreciation and knowledge across multiple teams. As employee expectation and required skills shift, it’s important to capture informal learning, and drive increased adoption of a common learning system with modern capabilities.
While our real estate pre-licensing course offers flexibility in how you approach most content, we recommend completing the Nevada Law section sequentially. This portion of the course is designed to build your knowledge incrementally, starting with foundational principles before moving on to more complex regulations. For the other sections, you have the freedom to tackle them in the order that best suits your learning style. Consistent review and taking chapter quizzes are strongly encouraged to reinforce your understanding. This approach helps you identify areas needing additional study and ensures you’re fully prepared for the final course exam and the state licensing exam.
You are given six months from the date of enrollment to complete your real estate pre-licensing course. However, to maximize retention and ensure you’re fully prepared for the Nevada Real Estate Licensing Exam, we recommend a study schedule that spans 6 weeks to 2 months. This timeframe allows you to engage deeply with the material without feeling overwhelmed, ensuring a solid understanding of key concepts. For those who require more time due to other commitments, the course offers the flexibility to progress at your own pace. If necessary, you may request an extension, but maintaining a consistent study routine is key to success.
The Nevada Real Estate Exam is a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate your understanding of both national real estate principles and Nevada-specific laws. Administered by PearsonVUE, the exam consists of 85 multiple-choice questions on national topics and 45 questions focused on Nevada laws and regulations. To pass, you must achieve a score of at least 75%. The exam is rigorous, requiring thorough preparation. Our pre-licensing course is crafted to closely mirror the content and format of the actual exam, providing you with ample practice questions, quizzes, and study guides to ensure you’re well-prepared to succeed on your first attempt.
Failing the Nevada Real Estate Exam on your first attempt can be discouraging, but it’s not uncommon and should be viewed as an opportunity for growth. Start by reviewing the exam feedback to identify specific areas where you struggled. Use this information to guide your study plan, focusing on the topics that need improvement. Our course offers additional study resources, including tutoring and practice exams, to help you address these gaps. After reinforcing your knowledge, you can reapply for the exam with PearsonVUE. Remember, persistence is key—many successful real estate professionals pass on their second attempt after refining their study strategies.
Pursuing your Nevada Real Estate License involves several costs. The fee to take the Nevada Real Estate Exam is $100, paid directly to PearsonVUE when scheduling your exam. Once you pass, you’ll need to apply for your license, which requires an additional $125 application fee. These fees are separate from the cost of your pre-licensing course and any optional study aids you choose to purchase, such as tutoring sessions or prep classes. It’s important to budget for these expenses as you plan your path to becoming a licensed real estate professional, ensuring you’re financially prepared for each step of the process.
The time it takes to be ready for the Nevada Real Estate Exam can vary based on your study habits and personal schedule. Some students adopt an intensive study regimen and are prepared to take the exam in as little as 10 days, though this approach requires a significant daily time commitment. More commonly, students take 6 weeks to 2 months to prepare, allowing for a balanced study routine that covers all the material comprehensively. This timeframe provides ample opportunity to engage with the course content, take practice exams, and attend optional tutoring or prep classes, ensuring you’re well-prepared and confident when you sit for the exam.
Joining the Board of Realtors after obtaining your Nevada Real Estate License is not mandatory but can be highly beneficial depending on your career goals and the brokerage you choose to work with. Many brokerages, especially those affiliated with the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), may require their agents to be members of the Board of Realtors. Membership provides access to valuable resources, including the MLS, continuing education opportunities, and networking events. These benefits can enhance your professional development and help you build a successful real estate career. It’s important to consider these factors when deciding whether to join the Board of Realtors.
Choosing the right brokerage is a crucial step in launching your real estate career. When evaluating potential brokerages, consider factors such as the quality of their training programs, the level of support they offer to new agents, their commission structure, and their overall reputation in the industry. Some brokerages specialize in certain types of real estate, so aligning with one that matches your career interests can be advantageous. Additionally, inquire about mentorship opportunities, access to leads, and continuing education resources. Our school offers job placement assistance to help you find a brokerage that aligns with your professional goals and provides the support needed for success.
The earning potential for a first-year real estate agent in Nevada can vary widely based on factors such as market conditions, the brokerage you choose, and your personal work ethic. On average, a first-year agent might earn around $48,000, though this figure can be higher or lower depending on your ability to generate leads, close deals, and build a client base. Success in real estate requires treating your career like a business, consistently prospecting for new clients, and taking advantage of the training and support offered by your brokerage. Staying motivated and continually improving your skills will help maximize your earning potential in your first year and beyond.
Preparing for the Nevada Real Estate Licensing Exam requires a strategic and disciplined approach to studying. Begin by thoroughly reviewing all course materials, including the interactive lessons, quizzes, and practice exams provided within our online platform. Regular practice with these tools helps reinforce key concepts and identify areas where you may need further review. Take advantage of our additional resources, such as free tutoring sessions and Weekend Prep classes, which offer targeted support on challenging topics.
