LB 187 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions of the Nebraska Real Estate License Act

LB 187 amends Nebraska's Real Estate License Act to require written agency agreements for real estate brokers in specific scenarios. It mandates that brokers must provide clients with written agreements detailing duties, compensation terms, expiration dates, and subagency options when acting as single agents (for sellers, buyers, or landlords), dual agents (representing both sides), or subagents. The bill also updates licensing requirements, including raising the minimum age to 19, requiring a high school diploma or equivalent, and mandating 90+ hours of approved real estate coursework for salespersons. These changes directly affect real estate brokers, salespersons, and their clients by standardizing written disclosures and professional conduct.
