About Us
Family Owned and Operated Since 1949
The Chamberlin Real Estate School has been helping people launch a new real estate career for over 70 years. As a family business, we value and enjoy personal interaction with our students. In the age of impersonal out-of-state online schools, you will always speak to one of our expert staff that will guide you through the licensing process.
We offer a unique “home-study” program, which includes online real estate courses or textbook based courses with the benefit of “Personal Instructor” support and a 1-day weekend real estate crash course. This combination of distance education with instructor support and live crash course has proven to be a superior method of preparing to pass the state salesperson and broker examination.
To understand the Chamberlin mission, it is helpful to look
back at the illustrious history of our family business.
The Chamberlin Story
A Humble Start – 1949
The roots of the Chamberlin Real Estate School began at the height of the post World War II economic boom. The school started in 1949, when Carol Chamberlin, one of the few female real estate professionals of the time, recognized the need to help aspiring professionals looking to enter the real estate industry.
Carol envisioned the Chamberlin School as a place offering help to those studying for the state licensing examination, much as it is today. Her vision and entrepreneurial spirit set the standard for the school, and endured through the decades.
The Second Generation – 1959 to 1989
Carol’s son George served as an Airforce veteran stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. George went on to work for Lockheed Martin as an electrical engineer. In the midst of this multi-faceted career, he never strayed too far from the family business. George obtained his real estate broker’s license and took over the school in 1959.
His wife Louise was an indispensable partner through much of this era by managing the school’s staff, front office, and accounting. George and Louise together transformed the school into the trusted resource that it is today.
1989 to Present Day
George and Louise’s son Mark Chamberlin became a real estate broker and listed California real estate for three years. Mark officially took over the family business in 1989. His wife Abby soon after joined the company by filling the role of office manager and has been an integral part of the school’s growth. Mark recognized the potential of the internet and the impact it would have on education, especially professional education. As a result, in 1997, just as the internet was taking hold, Chamberlin became the first DRE approved real estate school to offer online courses.
