About RealEstateU
RealEstateU is a quick, easy, and affordable place to obtain your license. But price alone is not a solid reason to select this provider – especially when your education is at stake.
RealEstateU’s main strength is in its affordability. Many students have positively reviewed the school online. You’ll especially enjoy the video courses if you’re based in New York. With their pre-license programs, you can fulfill the education requirements to sit & pass state exams. Salespersons & brokers can also enroll in continuing education classes.
Quick Facts
- RealEstateU has two founders, Andrew Anic and Ciprian Morariu. They founded the school in Jan 2013. At the time, Andrew was studying for a Real Estate Master’s Degree in Finance & Investment at New York University. Ciprian was an entrepreneur and now serves as the school’s Managing Director.
- The first courses the team produced were focused on real estate investing.
- The school’s first pre-licensing course was a package for New York, launched on September 6, 2014. It had 75 hours of video content taught by 21 local real estate professionals.
- To date, over 40,000 students have taken their programs.
Courses Offered
Pre-license education
RealEstateU allows students to take their real estate license training online. They can learn from any location, provided they have an internet connection. States served include New York, California, Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Each state has different class hour requirements.
RealEstateU Exam Prep
State exams are not always a walk in the park. Not all students pass on their first try. Even on the second attempt, some students still fail. The exam prep is meant to prepare you adequately. RealEstateU focuses on the topics that are most likely to feature in the exams. You get up to 16 practice quizzes and sit for a mock exam with time limits, just like the state version.
Continuing Education
The school has not ventured into CE programs in-depth, as they currently offer CE education in New York only. In New York, you can get a 22.5-hour renewal course, and earn credit hours that will be required to renew your license. The CE course includes both audio and video formats and is taught by 6 instructors.
Investing Courses
The school has up to 7 real estate investment programs. You can apply for the “How to Buy Your First Multi-Family Project” program. It shows you the exact procedure of finding and closing the first deal. Another noteworthy course is “Deal or No Deal.” It gives a blueprint for identifying good deals and bad ones.
What is RealEstateU like?
The learning Experience differs from state-to-state. In New York, students learn by watching the 75-hour video course. But if you like a bit of text as well, the school also provides a 200-page PDF ebook available. In other states, teaching is primarily through audio courses. You get a transcript for each lesson, as well as infographics & diagrams. Following each chapter is a quiz that tests how much you have retained. RealEstateU also gives students a downloadable PDF of glossary terms.
After completing your real estate pre-licensing course, you’ll have to sit for the school’s exams. In some states, you don’t need proctoring. Upon attaining a passing score on the school test, you proceed to the state exams.
What do students like about Real Estate U?
Highly affordable:
The school heavily discounts its courses. For instance, you might find yourself paying $99 for a $249 course.
Freedom & Flexibility:
It’s the main advantage of online courses. You don’t have to attend scheduled classes in-person.
Audio format:
RealEstateU lets learners experience different learning formats. And the audio format is particularly advantageous. You can complete audio lessons while performing tasks that don’t require lots of concentration. For instance, as you commute to work.
Good refund policy:
With some schools, once you buy their online courses your money is as good as gone. RealEstateU gives customers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Provided you have not completed more than 50% of the course, you qualify for a refund.
Up to 12-months:
You get up to 12 months to complete your online pre-licensing course. CE courses must be completed in 6 months.
Knowledgeable instructors:
In reviews, many students have sighted that they found the instructors knowledgeable.
What are the drawbacks about Real Estate U?
The complaint we hear most often is a similar one we hear about most real estate schools – RealEstateU teaches you enough to pass the state test, but not about the ins and outs of many of the things you need to be a successful real estate agent, such as a great real estate lead generation website, the best real estate lead generation companies, or the best real estate CRMs.
The course will teach you about real estate laws and regulations in your state, but not about how to create a real estate social media strategy, or the real estate flyer templates that are must successful. Most notably, it doesn’t cover the best real estate software as you’re starting out, how to bring in buyer leads, or how to find the right real estate CRM (even if you’re looking for a free CRM tool). If you’re looking for more advanced topics like real estate ads, building your own real estate lead generation website, which real estate marketing tools you’ll need, or even just real estate marketing ideas in general, you will need to complete those studies on your own.

RealEstateU FAQs
Pre-licensing courses in most states are in the $200 range, but there is often a steep discount. Pay attention to the frequent sales if price is a big determining factor for you.
RealEstateU operates in 10 states. The school has stated that they are actively expanding their programs and nation-wide coverage. Current states served:
Yes – the school is approved to provide courses in the states it operates.
Don’t let the low prices fool you into thinking this company isn’t legitimate. They’re just as legit as other big real estate schools like Colibri Real Estate or The CE Shop.
The company has been providing real estate education for over 10+ years to date. That said, because they’re the lowest cost offering in many states, they don’t offer all of the same bells and whistles that other real estate schools can offer.

I enjoyed the videos, they were really helpful. After taking the CE shop that only had a couple of videos that were not long at all.
The videos we slightly too long for the actual information. But I assume that’s one way to ensure you reach the 75 hours
If you want to become an agent do it. I took the final exam 5 times before passing 4 times with CE Shop and 2 times with Real Estate U. NEVER GIVE UP.

It was good. The videos made it very easy; the website was easy to access, and receiving certifications is also easy. The only suggestion I have to benefit the users is for them to provide a visual representation of an instructor giving the lessons. My advice is if you are going to be a new agent this is probably not the program to go with; I say it's for more for experienced agents looking to get licensed in a new state.
I did the whole thing at my own pace and...
I did the whole thing at my own pace and that I didn't have any technical issues throughout the whole class. I do think that they should create an app. That way it's easier to access instead of having to get on the web on my phone. It was a good course, so make sure you pay attention to the material because it was very similar to the actual exams themselves.
It was great. I used the test prep as we...
It was great. I used the test prep as well as books to prepare myself for the exam. With both, I felt entirely confident about my exams and passed my first time around. Highly recommend this test prep as well as purchasing a book.
This is a New York STATE course for a Ne...
This is a New York STATE course for a New York STATE exam. For whatever ODD reason, the random law (I wouldn't say "professionals") figures lecturing the course use New York CITY each...and every...time as a reference point for every poorly explained example of real life situations regarding these banal terms in pseudo law jargon such as "bundle of sticks"? and "fee simple"? and "estoppel"? and making simple things confusing by using "broker" and "agent" interchangeably and giving no example of when the different TYPES of agents would come into play. Which is very important.
For some reason RealEstateU thinks it's responsible and that it's ok to use the city in teaching material for a state and neglect to mention state matters and slobber and ramble through important definitions and texts despite people paying for this and having to pass an exam in this and trying to make a career in this. This is absolutely unacceptable. Sure YOU might be a real estate lawyer for 30 years or a successful agent for 10 years or you were born into the industry and didn't learn real estate academically but through experience instead (and it shows people), but it's clear that you're either out of touch and unfit to be an instructor, and/or you are used to using unintelligent babble and layman's vocabulary in your everyday business being a city slicker, and clearly while teaching an expensive course too. It's frightening that I'm only on chapter 3 and already I can see problems; the fact that these people dared to teach a course for a STATE BUT ONLY DISCUSS NYC is indications of nothing good. I'm from NYC but I'm upstate now and considering that the NYS real estate license is reciprocal and able to be transferred to different STATES, I would like/need information that's also transferable! I wrote down each and every lecturer's name in the video so far and if I have to I will cuss them out PERSONALLY.
The only reason I give two stars instead of one is because firstly, it's a 75 hour course, unnecessarily so, and that's not the instructor's faults. There is NO NEED for it to be THIS long. That's a whole lot of blank space to fill and where it IS the instructors faults is that they fill the space by rambling about crap regarding NYC but fail to use that time to narrate or demonstrate scenarios. I'm not saying film a sketch here. But a mere explanation of when someone would be the principal, the seller, the seller's agent, and the customer, and an example of when there's trust violations and bad practices occurring such as price fixing or market allocation WOULD BE NICE. I know what these things ARE BY DEFINITION but I have not a shining CLUE of how to recognize them for real, yet, but we've breezed right through these terms?! I'm not finished with the course yet, but it's starting to p___ me off!! Not to mention the DAUNTING task it seems to be to schedule the state exam. I'm like 10 hours in or something and I can't get this time back. Another reason for the extra star is because the course layout and website so far are just fine if only encased in the videos were tolerable people.
There's been 4 instructors so far and only 1 hasn't ticked me off, and he was the first one, an empty promise of a good thing. The 2nd instructor was boring himself lol and while he gave many examples, he gave weird ones like haunted houses. Was that supposed to wake me up!?? Because all it did was give me trouble sleeping, thanks a lot butt hole. And the third instructor for chapter 2 was RACING THROUGH everything so much so that he was stuttering back to what he was saying. NONE OF IT made sense?! I literally muted him and was bored to almost literal tears, I was actually BANGING MY HEAD ON MY TABLE listening to him!!!!! I couldn't WAIT for the chapter quiz. And now I'm on the 4th chapter and this woman is a NIGHTMARE! She's saying things that DO NOT match the notes in the same slide nor the study terms under the video!!! It's like she just didn't feel like explaining it! Is she high? Clearly these people are volunteering their time and don't really care? Or they're getting paid and don't really care. If it doesn't get better, please expect to not hear the end of my mouth!! I will go to each of these people's social medias and leave very nice messages for each of them for wasting my time and money and career ambitions.
It was all very convenient completing it...
It was all very convenient completing it whenever I needed to. I had the course for two years, and I liked that I could pay so that it wouldn't expire. I did find it challenging to complete with the fact that it was all audio. It felt a lot longer than it really was. I think including text content would make it easier to follow along, and more interaction would be beneficial than just having a monologue. Just stay diligent and study throughout the whole process. The quiz question will also be a big help for study purposes, so be sure to keep them handy.

It was an easy set up to use, and I was able to do work on it at my own time. I would suggest working on it early in the morning for a couple of hours before you start your day that way, you get as much as you can complete. From personal experience, I am more of a visual learner and would've liked visual presentations like videos, animation, and pictures. I thought it was an awesome way of getting my license and at a great price.

It was great. I completed it quickly, especially with my real estate background. The curriculum was great, and it included everything you need to know. Overall I thought it was very effective, and I was ultimately able to pass my exams on the first try.

It was all convenient, and I was able to get licensed twice as fast if I were to go to an in-person school. As having a career in the education industry, I think that the program was well put together, and having it available online was just genius. I have recommended this school and will continue to do so.

The price was good… but, it’s obvious “you get what you pay for” cause this was horrible. Not good
Please start over with the instruction the facilitators are Horrible with a capital H
The instructors will put you to sleep except for one. The monotone voices and repeated swallowing is so distracting, you can tell they just sent an email and either forced these people to do this or that’s all they had available. Aweful
Reevaluate this course, it could be good but, there should be better graphic displays and Lord get rid of those BORING instructors

I thought it was helpful to have all the important information put into one booklet to study. If you study this religiously for a couple of days, there is no doubt you'll pass.

I enjoyed its flexibility, being able to do it online, and completing the classwork at my own leisure. I really like the classes, they were good, and the real-life examples they would provide helped out a lot. I would advise you to take lots of notes and write everything down, just listening to the lectures will not help you retain the information.

It was easy to follow, easy to work on my own time, fast to complete, and super cheap. Be sure to stay focus and finish it quickly. Put all your effort, and do not procrastinate. I thought the whole course was good, yet I do wish they provided more materials rather than everything being online. I believe that a physical book would be super helpful and simple to follow along with.

Thumbs up to Real Estate U. You guys did an amazing job in helping to prepare not only for the national exam, but definitely for the New York state exam. Everything that I have studied was in the state exam.
I thought it was inexpensive, the set up...
I thought it was inexpensive, the set up for proctors were painless, and their testing was very effective. If you do decide to do online, I'd highly suggest you make sure you have a good computer and also a camera for the proctoring. In my opinion, a lot of people think that if they pay more for a real estate school, that'll be more effective but that's not the case. I spent little with this course and got top quality information.
I liked the fact that it was self-paced ...
I liked the fact that it was self-paced and that I was able to do it on my own time. Make sure you are self-motivated for online classes because you will need to be to complete it on your own. The only thing I would say they could improve is their lectures. I thought they were a bit monotonous because it was a plain green screen of a chalkboard, and it was only audio. We just had to listen to the lecture, so it was a bit boring, not being able to see the instructor. I thought it was a good class and they really tried to provide all the information they could.

I liked it. It was very user friendly, and customer service was extraordinary. Every time I reached out, they would respond so quickly and fix any issues with no problem at all. Just be sure to take notes and listen to the recordings. All the curriculum tests were easy, but the final exams are a bit challenging, so make sure you absorb all the information. One thing that would make it easier is if the recordings would provide a timestamp, that way if we needed to refer back to them, we could. I thought it was a great program.
It was very convenient. If you decide to...
It was very convenient. If you decide to take this program, make sure you focus and you're self disciplined. I think the class was great but I think that they do need to update it, because it felt outdated. They should make it more modern and keep up to date as the years pass by.

What do you like about RealEstateU?
Realestateu was very user friendly. The course set up was great. The videos were easy to watch. Everything they went over was on the NY real estate test.
What are some things to improve upon?
Some of the answers on the tests were different from what was taught. A couple of the videos were monotone and hard to sit through.
Anything else you'd like to share with other agents?
This is a completely legitimate course. I was skeptical because of the price but I completed the whole thing and am now a licenced real estate agent.

It helped me prepare for the exams, which was all I needed it for. It was a summary of the curriculum, which made it faster and easier to study.

Affordable, easy to use, and certainly at your own pace. You have an entire year to complete. I'm taking the courses for Texas (there are six total). I find I can do a course once per week and pass each final with ease.
I don't find any improvements that need to be made, I have enjoyed these courses.
Highly recommend this school for those that are looking to go at their own pace. Lots of great information and I have to say, the Texas instructor is phenomenal.

RealEstateU's program is horrible the monotone teaching the confusion webpage setup plus is zero interaction on the course. this is by far the worst online experience
They can improve on everything. Its time to pull the plug and rebuild it from the ground up. they need to redo all the materials
RealEstateU is very rude and needs to rethink their position in the education world

RealEstateU has good customer service.
However, they could improve on the fact that there was no study guide for the chapter exam is discouraging then if you don’t pass you have to pay again to take the whole chapter again it’s discouraging they need to update the videos and I force study guides cause some folks are visual learners in need to be in a classroom setting my opinion enforce study guides and better videos !!!!!!
If you are a visual learner I recommend you go to a class setting they have no study guides to help you prepare for chapter exams

What do you like about RealEstateU?
The price-point and audio features fit will with my learning style. I know there are some easier options, but you can't beat the price and ease of use.
What are some things to improve upon?
Better study guide tools would be helpful. I found myself struggling to go back through the course and find answers to questions.
Anything else you'd like to share with other agents?
You can get through it fairly fast!
MEH....
I will give this course 3 stars...the Instructor for the state of Texas is not very clear through out the lectures, its hard at times, to understand his "twang", and, more often than not, his voice fades....be prepared to buy multiple notebooks and pens because there is ALOT of material that you will NEED to know, if you don't want to take the test multiple times. I feel that this course in particular, will not prepare me well enough for the exam.....
I chose Real Estate U mainly because of ...
I chose Real Estate U mainly because of the price and the fact that it was all online. It was easy to use, and I thought the interface was really good. I thought the material was very detailed, but I did notice they left out a lot of points that were on the test. If they could somehow improve that connection, I think it would be 100% perfect.
One issue that needs to be resolved was making sure that the instructors were there to teach the material and not give their personal opinions on unrelated subjects. I had an instructor that would make me feel negative when he would demonize people who flipped homes or give out his political opinion. For the most part, I thought it was really effective and worth every penny.
It was convenient while going to school ...
It was convenient while going to school and working a real estate side job. With the schedule I had, I could not go to an in-person class with working and going to college. You do need to pay attention to the state material because the state portion seems to be a lot harder than the national exam. It was a great class, and I would recommend to people who have a busy schedule as I did.
I loved the instructors. They were both ...
I loved the instructors. They were both knowledgeable in the real estate industry and never made it boring. The first piece of advice I'd give is to purchase a book because it will make it a lot easier to follow and enable you to read the material in detail. One thing that should be implemented, in my opinion, is more visuals and graphics rather than having it all audio.
Being able to do it remotely from home w...
Being able to do it remotely from home was awesome. I would suggest redoing the quizzes before taking the actual exam. The one thing that was a bit tedious was having to look at a blank screen while listening to audio. I think it would make it more entertaining with a visual of anything, like maybe key points or vocabulary words.
It was helpful and easy to use. I though...
It was helpful and easy to use. I thought it was user friendly and that it was tedious getting through it, but it was worth it in the end. It prepared me well for the exams, but I do think they should add more content to the state exam. I had more of a hard time on the state compared to the national, and it'll be beneficial if they focus on improving that issue. Overall, it was a great course and had good pricing.
It was a very simple and a very user fri...
It was a very simple and a very user friendly website. Getting a hold of a proctor was easy, and also the sections were evened out very well. I say go for it. It's cheap and very effective. Passed all my exams on the first try.
I purchased this test prep and another j...
I purchased this test prep and another just to be on the safe side, and I'm glad I did so. I thought it was very helpful on the national portion for sure. It covered literally everything, and I felt very confident in that end. I think that they should focus on the state portion because I felt they missed some sections, and that's when the other supplement I purchased came in handy.
The interface of it all was well structu...
The interface of it all was well structured. I noticed that there was not much preparation for the state portion, which is why I had to purchase an outside test prep to prepare. The national section was great, though, and it prepared me very well.
Real Estate U had really good test prep....
Real Estate U had really good test prep. It was beneficial with the national exam, and it really helped me prepare because the questions were very similar to it. As far as the state exam, I didn't think it provided much information as I needed. I hope that they will improve the state portion more in the future because I definitely needed more help there. The national portion was really good, but I suggest purchasing another test prep course for the state portion.
Real Estate U was really good. I am happ...
Real Estate U was really good. I am happy that I used the test prep because, without it, I would not have passed. It contained potential questions the exam would ask, and they were a lot more similar than I expected, especially on the state portion.
This test prep was the only reason why I...
This test prep was the only reason why I passed. It was a lot harder than when I got my health insurance license. I wouldn't have passed the first time around without it.
It was very convenient with my schedule ...
It was very convenient with my schedule and really liked that I was able to work on it at any time. The material was a bit dry, in my opinion, but I do think that it was relevant to the state and national exam. I do think that they should make the curriculum more entertaining by adding visual content, such as videos, or just be more interactive with its users. I did like Real Estate U because the price is great, the material is relevant, and it is straightforward to navigate.
I loved the accessibility it gave. I was...
I loved the accessibility it gave. I was actually working then, so it was really accessible over my phone, and the audio was great to listen to while driving. I would suggest to schedule out your day to work on the courses every day and print out all the documents they provide at the very beginning. I think the only thing they need to improve is to provide a test prep in the initial package, rather than have their students have to seek outside options to study for their exams. They would make a lot more money and also it would make it a lot easier for their students.
Exam prep
It was somewhat helpful. I think that it needed to be more user friendly, instead of having to read all the information. I think it would be beneficial if they were to include something more interactive like videos, flashcards, fill-in blanks, or multiple-choice questions. I think having different ways to study helps retain the information faster and efficiently.
It was all seamless. Make sure if you ha...
It was all seamless. Make sure if you have time available, put in 2-3 hours a day to complete it faster. I thought it was informative, but the exam was a lot harder than I expected. I was having a real hard time with the exam because some of the questions required knowledge I did not know nor was covered. For the most part, I liked it, and it was super cheap to make it even better.
It was all easy to navigate, and it prep...
It was all easy to navigate, and it prepared me very well for my exams. I would suggest paying attention because this is not a course where you can flip through and pass easily. You have to actually retain the information and take as many notes as you can.
I thought it was very well structured. I...
I thought it was very well structured. It prepared me very well for the exams that I passed on my first try. It was identically challenging as the actual exams, and it couldn't have prepared me better.
Being able to do everything online at a ...
Being able to do everything online at a low price was super convenient. I liked that it was an accredited school, and I was able to do everything at my own pace. I think it had its moments of being difficult, but it was manageable to get through. If you decide to use this school, you will need to know if you can do the online learning style. Be sure that you can absorb the information and that you are self-motivated to complete it.
I never had any issues or complaints. If...
I never had any issues or complaints. If you are an audio and visual learner like I am, I would recommend it. I was able to take the courses and also take care of additional stuff on the side while listening to the audio. With 20 years of experience, I thought the material was very easy to get through. I'd rather listen to audio than have to waste my time reading a whole bunch of slides. This option is cheap, and it's super effective.
The convenience of not having to sit in ...
The convenience of not having to sit in a classroom worked out really well with my work schedule. I'd say to take your time to read and understand the material. Make sure you let the information sink in and put it all together for the exam.
This option was super cheap, and I was a...
This option was super cheap, and I was able to everything at home. I would strongly advise you not to skip any lessons and read through the material thoroughly. Although some sections were a bit dragged out, I think it prepared me well.
The fact that it was all online was why ...
The fact that it was all online was why I chose it rather than having to drive every day to a classroom. I did notice that a lot of material wasn't covered in the course, so I had to buy an extra course to prepare for the exam. In other words, don't use the test prep provided from RealEstateU, but the rest is fine.
Real Estate U is pretty simple. There a...
Real Estate U is pretty simple. There are few little quizzes after your lessons which help you earn easier. I've been getting through it pretty quickly, and I am close to being done. My advice would be to make sure to take notes and to attempt all the mini quizzes provided to help you better understand the material.
There was a good combination of videos t...
There was a good combination of videos to watch, along with reading sections. I liked that they changed it up. They let you retake the practice tests so don't worry about getting it all perfect. The only downside is that I sometimes felt like I sometimes spent more time reading than the course actually counted towards my hours.
I thought the test prep was good. It pre...
I thought the test prep was good. It prepared me well for the exams, and I passed on my first try. I thought it was very useful, but I do think that it needs a little improvement. In my opinion, I thought it was harder to retain due to how the information was structured. If they made it a little more organized, it would help a lot.
It was flexible, and I was able to work ...
It was flexible, and I was able to work on it at my own time. I advise users to take notes and go back into the information if you're unclear about something and rewatch the videos they provide. One issue I think they should fix is to add more information for the state portion of the exam. I failed the state exam on the first try, and I've heard of others who said that the school needs to include more information onto the state exam.
It was convenient, and the instructor wa...
It was convenient, and the instructor was informative. If you want something very educational and easy to attend without having to go in person, I recommend it. I thought it was a good school, and I passed my exam the first time.
I really liked the online aspect of ever...
I really liked the online aspect of everything. If you're good at learning on your own, I'd recommend this option for you. One thing I think needs improvement is the entertainment to keep their users engaged. Another thing they can do is organize their study structure to make it easier to understand. I had a hard time going through it, and I think they should organize it more. I thought the program was effective and very affordable.
I liked that everything was online and t...
I liked that everything was online and that I was able to listen to the chapters in my free time. I thought the sample exam and all the materials provided for the exam were helpful. If you are interested in taking this online school, it might be boring in the beginning, but it will get more interesting later on. I thought this was great for a school, but I do think they should add more visual content to make it more entertaining. I think the students would enjoy that.
It was super effective, and I passed the...
It was super effective, and I passed the exams on my first try. It gave me a really good idea of how the exams were going to look like and it was very well structured.
The information was very clear and easy ...
The information was very clear and easy to understand. I liked that everything was online and I was able to go at my own pace. My favorite part about it was that there was an audio option I could use instead of having to read every single word like other online programs. If you are the type of person who needs classroom interaction, I don't recommend this is for you. If you can focus and study on your own, I say go for it. It was priced lower than competitors, it has audio, and it is very effective.
Old School
The format is really old school. It's just a person reading and the material is redundant. I got this on Groupon, so at least I didn't have to pay very much.

It was very inexpensive, and I loved that I was able to go at my own pace. If you are self-disciplined, it's a good choice. I was a bit concerned about how inexpensive this program was, but I really did end up enjoying it and found it helpful to get my license. I did enjoy that I was able to listen to audio instead of being bored reading text all day.

I mainly needed something quick and online, so this was the way to go. I'd suggest to do it because the curriculum is great, there's a quiz after each section, and there are highlighted words to help you know what to study. It very inexpensive and great quality.

Only take the course if you are good at self pacing and have the discipline to make yourself work on the course materials. If you do, the self-paced, online aspect of the program is great. If you don’t, you might want to consider a different career path.

Real Estate U was much cheaper than the other schools I looked at, which was important to me. Their review materials helped me prepare well before each quiz. It was pretty easy to follow along.
Real Estate U
I looked up a bunch of different schools before making my choice. The other schools were too expensive for me and this was the only one I could afford.
I do the audio lessons and do the little quizzes after the lessons. It’s better to do it this way because there is a lot to read. I do print out the material and read it. Sometimes I do the quizzes 2-3 times to make sure I’ve learned it all correctly.
I notice they only communicate with me through email (I didn't see a phone number or anything). But that hasn’t been a problem so far.
This was the first course I’ve enrolled in online (because of my work schedule). I'd rather take it in class but I don’t have time because I'm always working. Doing it online has let me set my own pace. When I finish, I still have to do the fingerprinting and then the exam.

It was good…a little bit boring, but all classes are. I found it interesting because it's the line of work I want to be in. It can feel boring if you don't like the material. I didn’t ever need to contact support, but I liked that they are there if I needed them.

I was able to take the course at my own speed, with whatever I happened to have nearby (on my phone, laptop, etc.). I am only giving it 4 stars because I felt like I had to learn more than was on the test.

It met the state's requirements for hours of study and it was affordable, which was nice. When I had questions, I was always able to get in contact with an instructor online.

I haven't completed it yet. It's nothing difficult or anything, it's just a long process - it's over 180 hours and six sections. You can work at your own pace. I only completed one so I still have a lot to go. Obviously, you get what you pay for (this is a cheaper version than Champions). It has all the fundamentals, but not much more than that. It doesn't have much more applicable to the current real estate market right. so if you wanna learn more than the basics, that might be found in the classrooms. But for the fundamentals, it's solid.
