Hi, I’m Jim Weese.
I teach North Carolina real estate the way it actually works.
Live CE and post-licensing classes at Pitt Community College, in person or online, taught by a broker who’s still working deals. I also bring classes to brokerage companies across eastern North Carolina.

Still in the business.
I’ve been a licensed broker since 2003, and I’m with Aldridge & Southerland. I’ve taught for 20 years at Pitt Community College, Wayne Community College, the Raleigh Area Association of REALTORS®, and for brokerage companies across Pitt and Craven counties and New Bern. I also teach commercial real estate classes in the Raleigh market.
In 2024 I became an approved Education Provider with the NC Real Estate Commission and started writing my own courses. Three of my electives have been approved by the Commission, and I’ve adapted the General and BIC Update courses for commercial brokers. I’m a self-described contract nerd, and I’m happiest in front of a classroom.
That’s what I bring to class. When we cover agency, contracts, or disclosure, we talk about how it plays out in a real transaction, not just what the manual says.
Whether you’re a few months into your license or a broker-in-charge running an office, the goal is the same: you leave knowing something you’ll use on your next deal.
Outside of class, I live in Greenville with Rhonda, my wife of 43 years.

What class is like
Real situations
We work through deals you’ll recognize: the one that falls apart during due diligence, the tricky disclosure question, the client who changes course halfway through.
Current material
Rules, forms, and practices change. We cover what’s true this year and what it means for your next transaction.
Live, never a recording
In person or online, I’m teaching in real time. Bring the deal you’ve been stuck on. Some of the best learning in a CE class happens in the questions.
What students say
Jim Weese is a real estate professional dedicated to staying up-to-date with any changes made to contracts or rules pertaining to REALTORS®. Encouraging student participation in his classes allows him to give real-life situations, which prompts class discussions on how those scenarios should be handled. Every real estate transaction is different, and Jim is our office “guru” for handling things the right way. I always take my Update or Elective class with him because I can be sure that he knows the material. Even though it may be “dry,” he makes it easy to stay focused. I always leave his classes as a more knowledgeable agent.
From the end-of-course evaluation forms, Pre-Licensing at Pitt Community College, August 2026.
What do you consider to be this instructor’s greatest strength?
Jim’s ability to communicate is something I’d rate highly. If you ask about something you’re confused on, he will make sure he answers your question thoroughly.
His ability to explain the material in the simplest form so that anyone on any level can understand it.
Telling stories to help remember topics, and keeping class fun.
His ability to teach the topic based off his experience and to have it match the course material.
Expounding on real events for students to better understand the material presented.
His ethics and love to teach.
What suggestions for improvement do you have for this instructor?
Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing.
I can’t come up with anything he can improve on.
Additional comments about the course or instructor
Jim was great. I’d honestly recommend anyone to take this course with Jim.
I have thoroughly enjoyed learning and growing as a student in this course.
From the end-of-course evaluation forms, 2-T Gone Wild: Professional Edition at Pitt Community College, October 2026.
“An instructor who can make contractual learning fun and interesting is rare indeed. Jim Weese can do this!”
Jim is comprehensive, but teaches in a way that makes time fly, keeps you engaged, and has you enjoying your learning experience.
Jim’s classes are not only informative but also include real-life examples. This opens a forum for discussions that promote learning and retention of these imperative aspects of our industry.
Jim is very knowledgeable about the subjects he teaches. Very good at breaking down complex situations.
Jim is a well-informed, energetic and enthusiastic presenter. Makes class interesting and practical.
This class was very effective, as well as interesting! Instructor is great at holding students’ attention.
Great class as usual!

The commercial series
CE built for commercial brokers
Commercial brokers take the same Update course every year as everyone else, and most of it is about residential deals. These courses cover the required material through commercial transactions and commercial forms. I wrote my own commercial versions of GenUp and BICUp, developed with the Real Estate Commission.
GenUp Commercial
The required annual Update course for brokers, taught through commercial transactions.
BICUp Commercial
The required annual Update course for brokers-in-charge, built for those who run commercial offices.
Commercial Forms Gone Wild: Professional Edition
Form 580-T section by section, including the 2026 revisions, plus changes to seven more commercial forms and real transaction scenarios.
Electives for your brokerage
Courses I wrote, available as in-office classes for your team. Each one counts as a 4-hour CE elective.
2-T Gone Wild: Professional Edition
Residential forms and contracts, including the latest form changes, worked through real transactions. It’s the elective I’ve taught in my public classes at Pitt Community College.
“An instructor who can make contractual learning fun and interesting is rare indeed.”
Enhanced Fair Housing Training & Code of Ethics
Real Stories, Real Consequences, Real Solutions for Today’s Agents
Fair housing law, including steering, implicit bias and appraisal bias, and the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, taught through real case studies.
Credit that fits what your agents need
- 4 hours: NC CE elective credit, plus either NAR Fair Housing or NAR Code of Ethics credit

How you get credit: your 4 hours of NC elective credit are reported to the Real Estate Commission. For NAR credit, you’ll get a certificate of completion at the end of class to turn in to your local REALTOR® association. NAR requires both Code of Ethics and Fair Housing training every three years; the current cycle ends December 31, 2027.
