Real Estate Express Reviews

I have been on the phone constantly, they don't even have a direct number so whoever answers calls for them bounces you around at least 3 times. They are saying it could take a couple days to fix the problem. I have a job offer in FL and need to get my FL license ASAP. I am about to try a different company. I am beyond stressed out frustrated. Shouldn't someone in IT be able to help me when I call???

Now the bad: Colorado's coursework should have option for ZERO stars. The contracts course is taught using a DECADE OLD contract. Yeah, 10 years old. The current contract in actual use is vastly different -- but not taught. The Colo. Regulations they teach? Those changed YEARS ago and don't even correspond to course material now. REX coursework will say something like "Rule F5 says" ... except Rule F5 changed years ago and isn't even in the Colorado Real Estate Manual (CREM). Likewise, in one section on record keeping in the coursework, it says, "See the CREM for how do to this" -- and that section doesn't exist anymore in the manual -- and isn't covered in the coursework. I called the REX help line and said that the content was far, far out of date. The reply? "We're still accredited with Colorado, so it must not matter."

My colorado "instructor" just wasn't there most of the time. The "email instructor" thing was a joke. It got so bad, I started keeping track. Example: in the last course I took, started keeping track of how many questions I sent and how many answers I got. I sent 11 questions. Got one reply. Question was something like, "This paragraph is very unclear about XYZ. Could you clarify?" And the only answer I got was a copy/paste from the teacher of the confusing paragraph. There were errors in their closing documents, contradictory statements in the coursework (ex: Agents NEVER measure a property; next chapter: Here's how you measure a property!). When I asked which it is... no reply.

The exams are SUPER confusing and reference way in-the-weeds trivia in the text. I'm talking extreme trivial pursuit. Then the test questions themselves were often terrible. Sometimes ALL the answers to a question were wrong. Or ALL right. It was explained to me to go for the "most right" or "most wrong" answer. And... you'd never find out which questions you got right or wrong, or what the answers were or even where to find them. It was not unusual to have a question on one exam come from content from a unit not yet studied.

There was one course exam in the Real Estate Express coursework that I failed multiple times, even after taking days of review between tests. I did have someone from national reach out directly, and that's the only way I even got through one of the courses (and I'm grateful for that). Almost none of that difficult coursework was useful for the actual exam. After finishing REX for the credits, I enrolled in another school for review. That other school's review course did more good toward the test than all of the Colorado coursework I took through REX.

After repeatedly failing REX exams, I passed the actual exam with over a 90% average (which I credit to the other course). The actual exam was MUCH easier than the REX exams. Util they completely overhaul the Colorado course and get a new state instructor, I cannot recommend Real Estate Express for Colorado coursework.
