I have nothing but great things to say about this company!!! I signed up for online classes Aug 2018 and sat in 2 of their night classes the 1st 2 days in Biloxi to get my feel of things. They are some of the most highly recommended, professional, and skilled group of people I know in Real Estate. Studying self pace, in less than a month; I was ready. I passed on the 1st try with National!! And went back a 2nd time after their diligent help and passed my State!! Was the test effortless?? NO. But with prayer & some awesome teaching both online and in- classroom settings, I was prepped for exam day. Thinking about signing up? Stop thinking & #JUSTDOIT my money was well spent. #QUALITYOVERQUANTITY #INVESTINYOU 💜💚IDID! #THISGIRLSELLSREALESTATE

Outstanding experience! This school is conveniently located, well-appointed, and the staff is phenomenal. I recently retired from the military and was a little unsure where to start to get my real estate license. I called RETI and Jim Clauson answered all my questions and encouraged me to get after it. I started class the next week. My instructor, Leslie Clauson, kept the class engaged and active. I loved how she explained concepts and used scenarios to help us get it. Everything I needed to study was provided right there. (Giant books, online videos, fun games, and plenty of discussion). I studied diligently for a few weeks and passed my tests with ease. I did a short tour as a curriculum developer during my military service, so I know a little about adult learning and testing. I was thoroughly impressed with my RETI experience and left absolutely ready to start my career in real estate.

RETI (Leslie) went above and beyond instructing the course material. She was able to answer a question with true factual information and encourage one to seek further knowledge. This course drives a person to hit the ground running with all the the ideas brewed up during the class. Absolutely recommend taking a course with RETI. A comforting environment with a fun atmosphere. The office staff within the office will assist you with anything and guide you on the right direction.
