Find the Best Real Estate School for You

With the recent growth in online education, more people are considering online courses for studying real estate. But with so many options, it can be hard to determine which school is right for you based on cost, quality, time to completion, and other factors.

In this article, we will evaluate the top online real estate schools in order to help narrow your search. We'll start with the top 5 online real estate schools and then we'll offer our opinion on the one school that stands out from the rest.

Factors for Choosing the Best Real Estate School for You

There are many factors to consider when choosing an online real estate school, such as:

  • Does the school offer real estate courses in your state? Use the drop-downs in the table above to find out which of the online real estate schools offer courses in your state. Each state has different requirements and real estate exams when it comes to getting licensed as a real estate agent. Make sure your course offers the right content that you'll be tested on in your state.

  • Does the school have practice exams and other preparation materials? Passing the real estate exam in your state can be a challenge without the right materials. Practice exams are an essential component for preparing for the exam to ensure that your time and money isn't wasted.

  • Does the school offer the support to help you succeed? Passing the exam is only one step in the process of becoming a successful real estate agent. Getting real-world insight into the real estate industry can give you a big head start.

  • Are the professors available outside of class for questions? Since you don't have the advantage of asking questions in a classroom setting when taking real estate courses online, you'll want to ensure that you'll have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a timely manner. Otherwise, it might take you longer to complete the curriculum if lack of responsiveness from your professor prevents you from being able to move on to new content until your questions are answered.

And the Winner is...
