Nebraska wholesaling law · checked October 21, 2026
The short answer — Nebraska
Privately, yes — publicly, no. Nebraska put 'publicly marketing an equitable interest in a purchase contract' inside the definition of broker activity, carved it out of the owner exemption, and said a single act is enough.
Rule: Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 81-885.02(2), 81-885.03, 81-885.04(1) (LB 892, 2022; LB 187, 2025) · In force: July 21, 2022 (vacant-lot amendment March 11, 2025) · Penalty if ignored: Cease-and-desist, then a fine of up to $1,000 per day of unlicensed activity after the order — or all money earned, whichever is greater.

Since 2022, publicly marketing for sale an equitable interest in a real estate purchase contract is broker/salesperson activity in Nebraska, and the equitable interest is expressly excluded from the owner exemption — you cannot claim 'it's my contract, so I'm exempt.' A 2025 amendment (LB 187) excludes vacant lots. A licensee who publicly markets for a purchaser is treated as the purchaser's agent and needs a signed agency disclosure addendum.
Yes. Privately, yes — publicly, no. Nebraska put 'publicly marketing an equitable interest in a purchase contract' inside the definition of broker activity, carved it out of the owner exemption, and said a single act is enough.
