Tameka Housley

Just started but I love it already and the price is unbeatable. I'm poor and was able to afford this course and cost was always a reason to put off real estate school in the pass and I caught them on a mothers day deal for half price which was awesome. I was able to pay my tuition and a friends and I'm not currently working. Now we are on our way.

Great course package and very friendly staff. The modules were very informative and the instructors answered all of my questions. And they were half the price of other schools I was considering. Very glad I went with them.

Awesome school! My wife and I both took the course and it worked out great. If you know the material you will pass the exam. Be sure to review the course again prior to your exam because the instructor presentations really helped me focus on the topics that were heavily tested on the state test.

Great course at a great price. I wanted a course where I could learn at my own pace and this one was perfect. The instructors answered all of my questions and the course material was laid out very well and was very easy to understand. Passed my state exam on my first attempt as well!

So, what are you going to learn? The main bulk of the course deals with the principles and theory of real estate along with the laws. Some of the topics covered include real estate finance, the law of agency and contracts, fundamentals of real property, representing buyers and sellers, etc.
