The Real Estate School has specialized in real estate education in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for over 40 years. We are not a generic, one-size-fits-all, “national provider.” We are not one of the many broker-owned schools that popped up during the pandemic. We have over 40 years’ experience putting together an unsurpassed licensing program to help you pass the state exam and get hired by the best brokerage company to develop your career.
At The Real Estate School, you will get:
Full-time, expert instructors: Our teachers know how to keep you engaged. We use research-backed methods to help you learn better and recall important information on the exam and while you’re on the job. “Audit” a class session FREE to see for yourself. Having the right instructors makes all the difference. Click the red button below to Schedule Your Free Audit. Please audit ANY school you are considering attending!
Live stream, instructor-led webinars: Get your questions answered, live in real time from the comfort of home. Enjoy an amazing online experience complete with video clips, web tours, a whiteboard feature for diagrams, custom handouts, and study guides to download for test preparation. We are famous for our memorable real-life stories and our phenomenal “putting-it-all-together” reviews.
99% Customer Satisfaction Rate: We’re not sure if it’s our expert instructors or our best-in-class webinar platform, or maybe the fact that we include everything you need to succeed in one competitive tuition rate, but our customers love our program! We are here for you every step of the way with multiple seasoned instructors and dedicated customer service representatives who are available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
At The Real Estate School, you will NOT get:
NO “mix and match classes,” or “make your own schedule” here: Making your own schedule for completing the webinars may sound great, but most students struggle to learn the material when it’s taught out of order. We teach you the information in the correct order, so the concepts fall into place logically, without frustration or repetition. You’ll also never be stuck waiting around for the last modules you need to complete the course.
NO Cancellation of Courses: When we publish a start date on our website, you can rest assured the course will run. We never leave you scrambling by cancelling the course at the last minute. Many schools do; always ask about the cancellation policy upfront.
NO “Read-the-Page” Classes: We would never subject you to the “read-the-countless-words-on-the-page and constantly-slog-through-difficult-test-questions-to-proceed” type of experience. You are never going to get stuck when you have a question, with no choice but to wait for an instructor to respond to your email. Our classes are live, instructor led webinars with 2 seasoned professional instructors in the virtual classroom – one teaching, one assisting you with tech support, administrative questions, off topic questions, etc. All your questions get answered live in real time without any interruption to the main instructor’s presentation.
At The Real Estate School, your tuition includes:
An industry-leading textbook: We understand you don’t like hidden fees. That’s why our tuition INCLUDES a hard copy of Dearborn’s New Jersey textbook with free FedEx shipping to NJ, PA, NY, and DE. At many schools, the textbook is a $50 to $100 upgrade you must pay for in addition to your tuition. Some schools don’t even offer a hard copy textbook for studying, and purchasing their eBook is a costly upgrade.
Our comprehensive Exam Prep Package: Our tuition INCLUDES a comprehensive package to assist you in preparing for the State Exam. You will receive refresher study videos on all key topics as well as access to 500+ online practice questions. At many schools, the exam prep is a $75 to $99 upgrade you must pay in addition to your tuition. We include everything you need to succeed. There are NO HIDDEN FEES!
Multiple state licenses and college credits: Upon completion of our prelicensing course, you are eligible to sit for the NJ State Licensing Exam, the PA State Licensing Exam, or both, with NO ADDITIONAL COURSES required. (To add NY, you’ll need to complete an additional 2-hour course on Fair Housing.) Our course also provides 5 credits at Camden County College; the credits may be transferable to other institutions.
At The Real Estate School, we are here for you every step of the way:
Ongoing support from instructors and staff: Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate the licensing process from beginning to end. Upon graduation, we provide you with detailed step-by-step instructions for getting licensed in NJ, PA and/or NY with links to all necessary websites and forms. Our instructors are available to review your score report if you have any difficulties with the State Exam.
Guidance in finding the right brokerage company for YOU: Some brokerage companies charge thousands of dollars in fees every year, whether or not you ever earn a dime – but many do not. Understanding commission splits, start-up costs and desk fees upfront can save you thousands of dollars every year, for many years to come. As an independent school, we can help you make an informed decision before you sign a contract.
Access to Recruiting Events with leading brokerage companies: We are not owned by or affiliated with any one real estate brokerage company or franchise. We work equally with many different real estate companies that are eager to hire our graduates. We offer numerous (no obligation) Recruiting Events every month to help you connect with different brokers, so you find your best match and maximize your income for years to come.
We believe our program and instructors give you the best possible start in The Real Estate Business, hands down. But don’t take our word for it. See our instructors in action. Audit one class session, anytime, for free.
*Once you successfully complete your New Jersey Real Estate Licensing Course at The Real Estate School, you will have met the educational requirement to sit for the New Jersey and/or Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Licensing Exam.
Please note that the New Jersey course does not cover Pennsylvania-specific real estate law. You will need to review that material on your own prior to testing for the Pennsylvania license.
If you currently hold an active PA Sales License click here to learn about our 15 Hour Supplemental Course which qualifies PA Agents to sit for the NJ State Exam.
How to obtain both New Jersey and Pennsylvania licenses:
- Successfully complete our NJ Sales Licensing course
- Pass the NJ State Exam
- Activate your NJ license
- Request a Letter of Good Standing from the NJ Real Estate Commission
- Provide a copy of that letter to PSI Exams in order to take the 40 question “state law” portion of the PA Real Estate Licensing Exam. (You do not have to take the 80 question “national” portion of the PA exam again because you already passed that section when you took the NJ State Exam.)
No additional course work is required!
