Agent Institute was created with one purpose in mind: to provide straightforward, reliable education for North Carolina real estate professionals. Our courses are built to help you stay compliant, sharpen your knowledge, and keep moving forward in your career. We offer annual Continuing Education courses including the General Update (GenUp), Broker-in-Charge Update (BICUP), and approved electives—all designed to fit the lives of working brokers.
At Agent Institute, our mission is to provide real estate education that helps professionals learn with clarity, grow in confidence, and close with success. We aim to make every course a practical step forward in your career.
We believe good education should be:
Accessible – Affordable pricing, flexible formats, and materials sent in advance
Professional – Aligned with NCREC requirements and focused on practical takeaways
Respectful – Of your time, your experience, and the career you’re building
Inclusive – Welcoming to all, with a strong stance on equity, fairness, and opportunity
Agent Institute is founded and led by Jason Morton, a REALTOR® with a background in both education and real estate. His career started in the classroom, teaching music in North Carolina public schools before transitioning into real estate full-time. That early experience in teaching continues to shape the way courses are delivered here—organized, engaging, and rooted in a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.
With years of experience helping buyers, sellers, and fellow brokers in the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas, Jason’s goal is to provide useful, focused instruction without unnecessary complexity.
"At the heart of Agent Institute is a desire to serve—to help brokers across North Carolina learn what they need, grow their understanding, and stay ready to close with confidence. Whether you're here for a required course or just looking to stay sharp, I'm glad you're here."
— Jason Morton, Education Director
