A Family Legacy in Real Estate Education
The Real Estate School is more than a place to take classes—it’s a family legacy. Founded in 1976 and purchased by Don Haven Sr. in the early 1990s, our school has helped launch thousands of successful real estate careers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. From the start, Don built the school on two principles: quality instruction and genuine care for every student.
Today, the Haven family continues that tradition, running the school with the same values and dedication. We remain independent and family-owned, which means our only priority is your success—not selling you on a brokerage or pushing an agenda.
That independence matters. It means we have no ulterior motive—our only goal is to give you the strongest possible start in your career, at the brokerage that is the best fit for you, not for us. We work equally with many different companies looking to hire our graduates, so you can explore your options freely and make an informed choice.
Connecting You with the Right Brokerage
Choosing a brokerage is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a new agent. Commission splits, fees, training, and support vary widely—and can dramatically impact your earnings. Some companies charge thousands in annual fees regardless of sales; others don’t. We make sure you understand your options before you commit.
We host multiple Recruiting Events every month, featuring different brokerage companies ready to hire. You can attend as many as you want—completely free and with no obligation.
Education That Puts Students First
For nearly five decades, we’ve set the standard for real estate education in NJ and PA:
We never use part-time instructors who are also salespeople, because our students deserve undivided attention and unbiased guidance.
Independent.
Experienced.
Focused on You.
From live, instructor-led classes to free monthly recruiting events, everything we do is designed to help you pass your exam, launch your career, and thrive in the long term. That’s what makes us truly different—and why thousands of NJ and PA agents started right here.
