Investopedia’s Comprehensive Guide to Online Real Estate Schools

Investopedia is committed to assisting aspiring real estate professionals in finding the best online real estate schools. With a full-time research and editorial team, they have meticulously evaluated nine prominent online real estate schools, focusing on 38 criteria across four key categories: fees, customer satisfaction, features, and availability.


The methodology reflects a significant trend towards online education, adapting to the evolving landscape of real estate career preparation. This comprehensive review process ensures that potential students can make informed decisions about their educational paths.


How We Research Online Real Estate Schools

Investopedia’s research encompassed nine online real estate schools, selected based on previous research, consumer interest, and competitive analysis. Only schools offering at least one of the following course types were included:

  • Salesperson pre-licensing
  • Exam preparation
  • Continuing education
  • Post-licensing
  • Broker preparation

Research was conducted in February 2025, ensuring up-to-date information.


Data Collection and Scoring

Investopedia developed a quantitative model to objectively score and rank online real estate schools, based on criteria crucial to aspiring real estate agents and professionals seeking further education. The criteria were weighted to score schools, with information gathered directly from company websites and customer support representatives.


Each institution was rated using Investopedia’s Rating scale, ranging from 0.00 to 5.00, ensuring a fair comparison across all schools.


Online Real Estate Schools Evaluation Categories

The evaluation categories for real estate schools were weighted as follows, comprising 38 criteria for each of the nine companies, resulting in a total of 342 data points:

  • Fees: 27.00%
  • Customer Satisfaction: 27.00%
  • Features: 26.00%
  • Availability: 20.00%

The weights and resulting scores were instrumental in determining the best online real estate schools.


Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction was evaluated by examining pass rates and customer ratings from various sources. The Texas Real Estate Commission’s report on exam pass rates was a crucial reference in this evaluation.
