Real Estate License Courses

Step 1. Complete
your pre-licensing education

As a prospective agent, you're required to take real estate pre-licensing courses from an approved licensing school (like us!). Once you've completed courses, be sure to obtain your official transcripts or certificate of completion; this is required to complete your real estate license application.

Step 2. Pass
your real estate exam

Once you've completed pre-licensing courses and passed the final exam, it's time to schedule your state licensing real estate exam. Likely, you'll encounter questions on this exam that you didn't cover in pre-licensing curriculum, so be sure to look for exam prep programs that will highlight practice questions for your state.

Amy A., Tennessee

Best thing I've done for my career. I was working full time and wanted to transition into real estate. The online process made it possible.

Matthew F., Texas

I love that I can go at my own pace! With two small kids at home, it was tough for me at times and I was unable to finish within the six month time-frame, but I purchased the extension and spoke with someone about my situation. They generously extended my course even further than I expected, and now I am almost done! I would not have been able to finish if it wasn't for the woman who kindly extended my course! I'm truly grateful!

Dana F., Pennsylvania

Very thorough. I entered the state exam with a lot of confidence, and after reviewing material, re-taking the quizzes and completing the course exam, I was left with a strong knowledge base with which to pass the exam to get my license!

Breanna H., New York

I loved that the site was streamlined and very easy to use. The courses were laid out step by step and it was definitely "express"! I finished the courses quicker than expected. The Exam Prep Master program was one of my favorite tools. I know I passed because of that!
