Completed unit1 Real Estate course. I did the course online while working full time. Took the licensing exam January 2022 - passed! Started the unit 2 the same day. Great course! When i read the negative reviews here I wonder 2 things - did the person make sure they were reviewing the correct school AND if it was this school did you actually listen?? Frankie Griffin with my instructor, one of the very first things he said when introducing the course was that in addition to listening to what he was teaching her you needed to go and read the entire book. Seems that people believe they can simply

I loved the online self paced classes here! Frankie has many stories that help put the rules and laws of real estate into a better perspective. He definitely kept me entertained throughout a course that could have been easily very boring. I was well equipped to take the Real Estate Exam and passed both portions on the first try. Although the class was filmed in (2018) the concepts are still very relevant and are things you will most likely see on your Real Estate Exam. I would highly recommend the unit 1 and unit 2 salesperson course. Study the material given and you will succeed with this school

Frankie's online video-based course is the way to go if you need a self paced flexible schedule. You get all of the information needed for testing but it is presented in a very interesting and entertaining way. I couldn't imagine just reading all of the information and trying to remember the important parts. Frankie also tells you about a lot of real world scenarios to drive the point home about what to do and what not to do. I highly recommend it!!!

If you are looking for a great place to learn Real Estate, look no further, they are the real deal and I praise God I found them. Thank you all for the work you do and I pray for continued success in this operation.
