I’ve been licensed for 10 months now, and throughout my journey, I’ve continued to receive an amazing amount of support. That ongoing guidance has made a huge difference in my growth and confidence to close deals.
If you’re serious about leveling up and investing in yourself, I can’t recommend this school enough. The impact it’s had on my life has been huge. Without a doubt, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I absolutely loved my teacher Claudia! Not only is she straight forward but she is beyond kind and patient! You can truly tell she loves her work while she teaches. She shares her personal experiences of being a real state agent. I loved it and gave me the expectation of what it really takes to be a real estate broker! This is definitely not for the weak and you need to also do your part and STUDY and showing up to the study sessions. I will forever recommend this school. Support and encouragement was shown throughout the entire 8 weeks I couldn’t be more grateful! 🥹

Make sure you do your research before going to this place…there are better schools to go to for your bucks that will take the time to actually teach you and not read off the book and hear Claudia personal stories about her divorce and her sisters personalities. You are there to teach not hear sob stories. Be professional as in instructor. It’s really a shame that they make money of high schoolers without giving them the right information as to what to really expect in the class. Try these schools you can even talk to someone and in depth as to what to expect in the class and quizzes etc… I Love Real Estate School, REALTORS® Real Estate School, and Chicago Real Estate Institute
