You can call your Realtors Association and they will tell you if your license will transfer to NC. However you should also know that the knowledge you will gain from using a local realtor will be worth what you will have to pay in fees.

If you own it you can sell it. As a NJ real estate agent I'm sure you understand using a REALTOR will be more effective then selling as a FSBO. If your property is in OIB contact me at akale@prucarolina.com, I'd enjoy paying you a nice referral.

Robert your license will not transfer but as Daniel said I would advise that you disclose the fact that you are a licensed agent in NJ. You cannot practice here but, you can do a FSBO. If you like use one of the many flat fee brokerages. As long as you are willing to do all the marketing yourself. You know as well as anyone the advantages of having versus not having an agent. Here you are not licensed so you are treated just like any other homeowner. Although if you have any other specific legal questions contact the commission or a good RE attorney in the city/county where you property is. Maybe who you used to close the deal when you bought it.

Hope this helps,

Robert - you best bet is to call the NC Real Estate commission and ask this question, they'll let you know. To be safe I would recommend you disclose that you are a NJ Real Estate agent selling your own property.

That link will get you the contact phone numbers for the commission or call the main line at (919) 875-3700 The staff there is very friendly and helpful.
