NC real estate school bonds.
$100 flat.
North Carolina requires a private real estate education provider to execute a $5,000 performance bond under G.S. 93A-36, payable to the State and approved by the NC Real Estate Commission. It guarantees tuition refunds to students. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
North Carolina certifies private real estate education providers through the NC Real Estate Commission under Chapter 93A, Article 3. A school may not operate without first executing a performance bond, so the bond is a precondition to the school's certification — new or renewing.
Under G.S. 93A-36, the bond is in the sum of $5,000, payable to the State, signed by a solvent guaranty company, and conditioned that the provider will carry out its contracts with students and refund all tuition and fees if it fails to provide the instruction it agreed to. Students harmed by a school that closes or fails to deliver can recover against the bond.
The bond must be approved by the Commission and then filed with the clerk of superior court in the county where the school is located. One bond covers a school and its branches — a separate bond is not required for each branch. We write it at $100; the application collects no credit information.
