Online real estate education is a popular choice for those launching their career in real estate. Course requirements vary by state and are usually required before taking the state exam. If you are already licensed in another state, your state might have reciprocity, and you can save time and money on your education!
Real estate exams aren’t easy! I barely passed, and I know many agents who took it multiple times before finally passing. Getting the right provider who meets your learning style is essential!
Some of these companies provide in-class instruction as well. Others partner with networks of independent instructors, share course materials, and more.
Below are the contenders for your business if you are looking for online real estate classes for your pre-licensing or post-licensing continuing education.

- “No Pass, No Pay”
- Practice Exams
- Flexible Schedules

- Includes SAE (TX) or continuing education
Final word

Separately, I wrote this oldie (but still relevant!) article for Inman on the seven things I recommend doing after getting your license:
- Get your GRI
- Attend your state (or national!) convention
- Start listening to podcasts
- Start your website
- Find a mentor
- Get an accountant (and good software like Realtyzam)
- Subscribe to Inman
You also probably want to join some of the best Facebook groups like Lab Coat Agents and more.
These are all things I wish I had done early in my real estate career and did far more for me than any real estate course I took. Please don’t make my mistakes! Get (and stay) educated!
