We must get asked the same question once a day. What is the best real estate school near me in Raleigh, North Carolina? If this is the case, you are on the right page.
We have taken the time to review over 50 real estate schools and have selected the four best that have proven to help student complete the course, pass the final exam, and join the Keller Williams Raleigh 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 Raleigh.
These real estate schools made the list because they met the following criteria:
- Structured Class Chapters and Sections with Sample Quizes
- Focus on Preparation for the Final Exam
- Ability to set your own schedule
- Student Friendly Policy on Refunds
A students attitude and commitment is just as important as a particular school. 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 Top Recommendation:
The CE Shop Real Estate Classes
The Other School making the list:
Colibri Real Estate Classes
Kaplan Real Estate Classes
AceableAgent Real Estate
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.
The 30 day money back guarantee stands out as a great benefit for students. As long as you have not completed 50% of the course you will get your money back. Because of the online nature of the school, they are able to offer free trials and guarantees that are not possible in a classroom setting. 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
Real estate schools are very competitive and they all offer different discount promotions and discount codes that range from 20%-40% off the package price. Click here to see the current pricing and discounts for the North Carolina 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.
Which Package Should I Select?
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 throws in the exam prep module as well.
- 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.
Becasue of the importance of the exam prep module for you to pass the final state exam, 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 Raleigh.
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.
Remember, no matter the course format or package that you select, each requires a final exam.
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.
