cres instructors
When considering which Real Estate School is right for you, the instructors are a vital component.

the quality of education you receive is critical

“Super Program, Enroll Now! *** update, read below ! *** This is a good program. I enjoyed it and found it helpful in preparing for the state/national AMP exam. I got a “70 something” on the midterm and an 86 on the final exam. (the night before the mdtrm, was the cubs championship world series game) Not to mention, the presidential election during my 5 week class period. A lot of distractions, lol. Sam is a super teacher and was very entertaining. His experience shows. I talked to Kim and Scott and they were both very helpful. I take the AMP exam a week from today, and will post my results. *** Took state exam on 2/16/17, passed on first attempt ! Thanks again to Kim, Sam, and Scott. Great program ! *** The classmates, seated in my vicinity, already passed the exam and are contracted with realty companies now. I’ve been working with some outside materials as well to supplement the AMP test prep. In fact you can take a similar exam from AMP, I did, went well. This is a good class, good people, money well spent. Cheers, Business Advanced X Chicago, IL –”

“I did my research of top real estate school before I registered. I called top 5 schools on my list and spoke to each representative asking them questions about school, program, cost and ratings. I was amazed by professionalism of Kim and Scott at CRES. They are not only patiently explained me everything, but went extra mile by sending me a specific brochure to make sure all of my questions got covered. So of cause I choose CRES as my preferred school. Kim and Scott are on point with email and online messages reply. Always very nice, patient and professional. I took accelerated class (2 weeks) which was very intense. If you want to learn from the best, I would recommend taking class with Sam. He has spacific way of teaching. But you will learn everything you need to know for exam from him. If you are carefully listening to everything Sam says in class and put lots of effort, you will have no problem passing exam. I took my exam on Wednesday for the first time and passed it. Thank you Kim and Scott for your professionalism. And thank you Sam for passing your knowledge and helping me start new chapter in my life.”

“Very convenient. It fits into any lifestyle. The online options is incredible, and the evening courses were perfect as well. The information is comprehensive and is good for those who do well at self learning. I would say that the book has certain aspects that were not clear, but when I took note and asked the course instructor, he was sure to answer all of the questions. Also, it would be nice if the interactive class was offered more often. Obviously it is still convenient because I didn’t have to take off of work, and I didn’t have to give up my weekends, and I did not have to leave my house, and the mobile options was great! So all in all I was able to work it out. I appreciated the chat feature, any time I had a question I received an immediate response. I felt comfortable asking all of my questions and therefore had a clear idea of what to expect throughout the duration of the course. That was the most convenient component to the course and why I would recommend it.”
