What Our Students Say
Michael Peno
I first used Chamberlin Real Estate School when I attempted the state exam in the early 90's With the help of the great courses at Chamberlin and a one day free Sure pass seminar, I comfortably passed the exam. Since then , I've always used Chamberlin to keep me current. The continuing education is well written and very simple to complete at home. Anytime I have questions, Chamberlins staff is always friendly and kind. Thanks for the many years of your service.read moreread lessChristina Kokologiannakis
I am no stranger to Chamberlin Real Estate School. I used them to take my real estate course almost 8 years ago and the 2 day crash course to pass the exam. I used them on my first renewal and now on my second. I have referred countless people to them. I really like how they do everything. They just make the process easy. I will continue to use them and I recommend you do as well.read moreread lessJulia R.
I really enjoyed the process of getting my brokers license thought chamberlin. Everyone I worked with was very friendly, helpful and informative. I took the crash course with Gene and he was fantastic. He made the time go quickly, gave great examples to help retain the information and you could tell he genuinely wanted the best for all the students. All the tools Chamberlin has available are helpful in preparing and passing the test. I would recommend this school to others looking to gain their license. Take the crash course with Gene it is key to passing!
