You are probably asking yourself. Is there a real estate school near me in Bloomington, Illinois? If this is the case, you are on the right page.
Over the years we have reviewed over 50 different real estate schools and have selected the four best that are approved by the state to offer classes that satisfy the credit hour requirements and join the Keller Williams Bloomington office. Real estate schools are independent of real estate brokerage companies, so the schools on this list reflect this fact and offer you the best opportunity to take the required real estate class and pass the final exam on the first attempt. The sooner you do so, the quicker you will be able to join Keller Williams Bloomington.
These real estate schools made the list because they met the following criteria:
- Commitment to following the state approved ciriculum
- Higher Pass Rates for Students on the Final Exam
- Ability to set your own schedule
- Student Friendly Policy on Refunds
No matter which school you select, you need to enter the course with a positive attitude and a determination. If the student is commited to completing the course and putting in the time required to acheive success, then the school itself is not as much of a factor. That being said, these schools are on the list because they provide the best environment for you to achieve that success, without distractions from other students or the contrainsts of an inferior instructor or rigid school schedule.
Our #1 Recommendation:
The CE Shop Real Estate School
The Other School making the list:
Reasons why The CE Shop stood out:
The first reason is the 5 day free trial program. This allows you to try out the class. Any portion of the course that you complete during the trial period will be saved and credited to you when you purchase the non trial version.
Another reason is that they offer a 30 day full money back guarantee as long as less than 50% of the course has been completed. The CE Shop is very innovative with the free trial and guarantee program. We are impressed with this. This is something that classroom based courses are usually unable to provide. Having an ability to try the class out before you fully buy gives the student the peace of mind to jump right in and get started on the course.
If you are not able to complete the course in the time period allowed, you will be able to purchase an extension for a minimal fee from The CE Shop.
Current Pricing for The CE Shop
The CE Shop usualy offers a discount promotion code that reduces the cost of the class by as much as 40%. Click here to see the current pricing and discounts for the Illinois real estate classes.
Another thing that stood out in our review was the military discount that The CE Shop offers to active duty members, family members and those transitioning to civilian life.
The CE Shop has a package that is right for you:
Lets explain what the 4 packages include, the Course Only, Standard, Value and Premium.
- The course only package is the base package and only includes the core required course hours.
- The standard package has the core hours class and the exam prep module.
- The value package adds a business building course to the required hours and exam prep.
- If you are serious about your career in real estate, the premium package will include everything in the value package and the state required post licensing course.
We recommend either the Standard or Value Level package with The CE Shop. The Premium bundle with the post licensing course is also an attractive investment.
The final reason that we found The CE Shop to be the best real estate school was the ability to split the payments for the course into three payments. Completing the course will allow you to apply for the open positions at Keller Williams Bloomington.
The benefits of taking an online course
- Schedule Flexibility. If you can login, you can study.
- Less expensive than a classroom course that has to pay for meeting space and an instructor.
- If you have a high comprehension and retention level when you read, you could be done with the course in a matter of days as long as you pass the course final exam.
- Each section includes a chapter quiz that you must pass before you proceed to the next section. This ensures that you understand the inforamtion that is going to be included on the test.
The purpose of the course is to ensure that you satisfy the credit hours required by the state and pass the final state exam. This applies no matter which package you select.
The real estate course will introduce you to the principles and practice of real estate. It will not teach you how to run a real estate business, how to find buyers and sellers and how to have a successful career as a real estate agent.
