Hey Alex, if you want online the best value I found was realestateexpress.com they have 3 different packages I belive with the base classes starting somewhere around $410, I went with the middle package ($520ish) which includes exam prep, some additional e-books and a "guaranteed pass" on the state exam. So far I have no complaints. I hear the champions program is really great, but I don't think I'd spend the extra cash unless you can actually attend the live classes. They have a "campus" here in SA. Also look into allied business schools, I'm not sure how their pricing is, I've heard many here say it was a good deal, I used them for my appraisal courses a few years ago and it was $1400, which seems high.

I would recommend WWW.onlineed.com. They have state specific licensee courses and ongoing training. I am not sure if they provide training for every state, but you can check to see if they have course work for the state you are interested in being licensed in.

Hi @Alex Rivas and welcome to BP! I just wrote a personal blog on BP on how I got my RE license. I couldn't really find any step by step so I put my experience down for all. Check it out and keep us updated!

@Jarrod Weaver Unfortunately for me in-person is just impossible, I am constantly in motion between 3 different cities and can't determine in advance when I'll be where.

@Derek Faller Thanks for the reco, i just signed up at onlineed.com, looks pretty straightforward.

I actually WOULD NOT recommend the online option for acquiring a real estate license. Having done it in the classroom in Texas and online for my Florida license I can attest to the value of the interaction with the instructor and other students. Most schools cater to working people with bizarre schedules. Here in Austin there are a couple of schools who offer regular day classes, nights, weekends or a combination of each. It's really whatever you can make work. Good luck with your chosen course of study!

I took my classes at a local University,  University of Texas Arlington. They ended up being the cheapest option and the classes were fine. Cost was 540 including review class for the test. UT Austin offered classes as well but more expensive. I'd look into local schools that offered classes as well depending on your state.

Derek Faller · Answer

Yes, I got my license through there and take my required hours of continued education from them. Taking the classes in person at a school are probably the best way to go, but if you don't have a class near you or you don't have the time to dedicate to a full time class then the online courses are good for that. The online ed classes have a moderator that you can call or e-mail with any questions you have about the course work and a through practice test. I didn't have any problem passing the exam after finishing my coursework.
