Student Testimonials

Listen to what Realty Institute students have to say about our school, courses, and instructors. From Directors and Vice Presidents of the largest real estate firms to the those seeking a career change, our students all have one thing in common... SUCCESS!

Although it’s been nearly 16 years since my partner Adrian Castillo and I took your classes to become salespeople, a month doesn’t go by when I don’t think of the invaluable education and in-sites that both of you gave us at the Realty Institute during our initial salesperson classes, broker classes and continuing education.

Adrian and I both have worked hard over the years and are both now Senior Vice President-Directors at Brown Harris Stevens, Manhattan’s oldest real state firm. We were the 2010 affliliate of the year for Christie’s International Realty and now my team, The Minnick Group, handles the real estate needs of many of the most affluent individuals, families and investors from all parts of the globe. My average sales transaction now tops $ 3,000,000.

We both have no doubt in our minds that we wouldn’t have come this far in the business if it weren’t for your excellent training. Particularly when it comes to ethics. As Dianne told us, “all you have in this business is your name and reputation.” The level of clients that we deal with value honesty, discretion and ethics above all. Whenever we have a problem/situation (yes, after 16 years we still get stumped sometimes), we always ask ourselves… "What would Diane tell us to do?"

We wish you continued success. As always, we will continue to refer people to you who want to get into this exciting, ever-changing and financially rewarding business.

Great experience. REALTY INSTITUTE provides an excellent online program combining both visual and auditory elements in addition to end of chapter assesments. All of which helped me prepare not only for the state exam, but also for a successful career. Thank you REALTY INSTITUTE.

This was my first time doing courses online. It was very convenient fro me. Being a single parent it allowed me to take care of my household needs and spend time a the computer at my own pace. I received my sales license,continuing education courses and brokers course at Realty Institute for the past 10 years and must say I have learned a lot. I am looking forward to more online courses. It also has given me dicipline knowing "If it is to be it is up to me".

It's a good way to learn, you can take your time and review and go back to chapters you may want to re look at any time wherever you are. After evry question asked at the end of the chapters it explains to you in detail why it is that answer if you got it wrong. I would reccomend the online course to anyone that has a busy schedule.

I enjoyed taking the course. The ability to go back and review what you read/heard was extremley heplful. another big help was if you if you were not up to doing a class or in the right frame of mind you did not have to, unlike a classroom you either miss material or don't focus. Reviewing whenever you want and not being told when to move forward or back is great!
