Incredible school, immensely helpful and exactly where you need to go if you want to get your license with ease! Jim brings a confidence and experience that all instructors should have, all while being extremely helpful, a guiding mind and easy to understand lessons. Everything ties in and makes taking the final exams easier through repetition and practice. Highly recommend this course to anyone. I assume in person is the best choice but I did the prerecorded classes and crunched them into two weeks and passed my test the following week, it was only possible through the teaching and help this school brought!

They did not refund me and didnt follow their refund policy. Their refund policy is broad and not specific. I would not recommend their course. I will have to pursue other avenues to get my refund—what a massive headache and inconvenience. I have already directed friends elsewhere and will continue to do so.

What a wonderful experience! I am relocating to Denver so I took the online course in hopes to obtain my license prior to my move... I am beyond blessed by Jim’s knowledge and continuous education to ensure all of his students have the most up to date Learnings in regards to Real Estate and the National/State Exam. In one month I was able to learn all of the material and pass my exams on my first try! Look no further.... this is by far a top school in Colorado!

I purchased the Gold online Real Estate package and I am very impressed. Within 1.5 months, I was able to learn all of the material. I took the test yesterday for the first time and passed the national and state portion. This class is amazing and you will pass too if you do everything that you are supposed to when instructed to do it 😍. I am so happy and ready for my next step in my career. Thank you American Real Estate College!

Jim is the wizard of CO real estate. If you go anywhere else you’re missing out big time. My wife and I chose his course after researching other schools and made our decision after seeing the reviews. I’m glad we did. We both passed the first time and are now real estate brokers. Thank you Jim!

Review №13

The best decision I made was going to American Real Estate College. I spent 6 months at another school and could not pass the test, they continually told me to watch the videos over again and would not help me. Jim was the BEST teacher you could ask for. He will answer all of your questions and truly cares about every student that is in his class. It took me a month to get through the classes and passed the PSI on the first try. I truly felt so prepared for the exam. American Real Estate College is the best, without a doubt. The reviews speak for themselves!! Absolutely amazing!!

I took the 18 day live classroom course and could not have made better choice, American Real Estate College got me well prepared; I passed the test on my first try!!!Jim has been in real estate and in the business of teaching it for many years. He is an incredible teacher, he explains things and uses examples in terms that are understandable. It’s not only hard memorization that needs to take place but also understanding the concepts and the way things come together. Don’t worry if you don’t get it the first time because Jim goes over everything many many times.The classroom, flow, and ease of signing up are all top notch; all thanks to Brandon who runs the front office. Brandon is a wealth of knowledge and can help answer questions or just help ease the nervousness and anxiety as you’re moving along in the process and building up to test day.I could go on forever, I was in your shoes 2 months ago; if you’re looking at reviews and trying to decide on where to invest in your future, stop looking and go to American Real Estate College.

This school was great! It fit my schedule perfectly. Jim and the staff were fantastic and very friendly. Made friends for a life time in class, we share ideas and we help each other as Realtors. I highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to take the many avenues that Real estate has to offer. Thank you American Real Estate College!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Jim is The Godfather of real estate. If you want to learn from a true Pro, look no further. For me, school was the last thing I wanted to do... but Jim makes it so you want to come back.. Brandon, is a great resource to anything about real estate and will always help you navigate through the online videos and portal. If you want to LEARN real estate and understand the language all while having fun doing it, book today.

The school and instructors are incredible. In all my academic/ collegiate experience, Jim is by far the best teacher I have had. He is so encouraging, engaging, and takes the time to make sure you understand the material. The environment is wonderful, everyone at American Real Estate College wants to see you succeed and gives you the tools to do so. I passed both tests the first time, and have nothing but wonderful things about the school.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best place to get your real estate education in CO! Hands down the best instructor Jim McCloskey, thank you!

Review №22

Highly recommend AREC because of the curriculum and how the course is presented. Jim is very well established in the industry and has stories to prove it. His stories are what help you remember key items in the class. For those that would like to pass on the first time should consider this school. The 18 day class will help get you to speed quickly without exploding your brain with info.

Jim and team makes real estate education enjoyable. Jim shares great stories and Jen in the front office, is always accommodating. I took the accelerated classroom program and successfully passed the challenging National and State exams the first round. You most likely will need to do some cramming on your own prior to taking the exam - especially the national exam. Jim is always a reliable source of information once you graduate from his program as well.

Review №24

One and DONE! as we say at AREC. :-) Thank you AREC for preparing me to pass my exam. I wont say the state exam was easy but being well prepared actually made it fun. The material we went over in class was spot on to what was on the exam. You have to study hard outside of the classroom but you are given all the material you need. My biggest help came from the pre-recorded glossary that you can download from the website and the abundance of study material. Above all though, I am grateful for Jims patience and love of the industry. It was certainly contagious. I learned so much about real estate and then some. Best class ever!

Review №25

Great class, I would never have trusted myself to finish their course online. I’m taking the accelerated course, done in 18 days. Jim is great, he takes the Real Estate Exam every year and stays up to date on all the exam question and changes. He’s a wealth of information, having been in real estate for over 40 years, he knows his stuff! Highly recommend.

Review №26

American Real Estate College was such an awesome experience for me! I originally tried an online school and was not engaged at all. I decided AREC would be a good choice because of the accountability of going to class, but I got so much more out of it than just accountability. The information provided was top notch and the staff was so pleasant to be around. They felt like my family! I highly recommend this school if you are deciding to get your real estate license. It was worth every penny!

I researched various methods to acquire the education needed for a real estate broker license. After speaking with Jim McCloskey I selected the American College. I am in the process of completing the 18 day course. I am so pleased with the college. They provide a comfortable learning environment making it a pleasure to go to class. The office staff is always upbeat, friendly and helpful. The instructors are knowledgeable, and the information is well presented. They make the learning experience enjoyable. If your schedule permits, you will be glad you took this approach to prepare for the state and national exams.

I highly recommend anyone looking to get into the real estate industry to go to American Real Estate College! Jim really does know his stuff! Everyone in the office is always more than willing to help and they will give you the information and advice needed to pass your exams! Just great people who have the passion for Real Estate! I suggest the 18 day class, I feel like you get way more on a in person basis than online!

Review №29

So glad I finally made the decision to start my real estate career at American Real Estate College. Jim is an outstanding instructor and easy to listen too. Im taking the 18 day accelerated class and loving every minute. Learning in a classroom environment, with students of like minds, is the way to go. I believe that the face to face connection with students helps make the material a little less intimidating as opposed to learning online. Already forming new friendships that I may not of had if I did a self study. Highly recommend this school!

American Real Estate College is a delight to have available to anyone trying to get their real estate licensing. They recently opened up the Community Association manager curriculum. Between what they offer between this and the other various other aspects of the industry , they are the true leaders within the profession. It has been my pleasure to deal with them on a continual basis over the last several years. Sincerely Michael

This is a great school to go to for your real estate license, their system and the way Jim teaches is just great. They have presentations that give you more of an idea of what you will need later on and the different options we have out there for after we get our licenses. They supply you with everything you need to help you learn the important material on the test and in real life.

I have known Jim McCloskey for years now and I have started to take his real estate licensing class. He is clearly one of the most intelligent and experienced real estate professionals that I have had the pleasure of knowing. His classes are exceedingly thorough, well thought out and clearly taught and the most effective of any of my friends who have taken classes to become licensed. I have no hesitation in completely and fully recommending his school to anyone looking for a first class real estate education.

Review №42

The entire American Real Estate College experience deserves nothing less than a 5 star rating. The American Real Estate College is a definitely “must have” before taking your real estate exams and becoming a Professional Real Estate Agent. The school is built by an extremely well-respected hard working team, including President Jim McCloskey. The experience gives you not only the most up-to-date information for Real Estate to pass your exam, but also helps in real world situations you may come to face when working as an Agent. The networking and people you meet during the course is worth every penny and more. It not only helps with job placement, but allows you to hit the ground running in the one of a life time experiences at American Real Estate College. Jim is an not only an amazing instructor, but also mentor, and friend.

They have been very helpful easing me into the class. My first class was math and at first I was very overwhelmed, but by the time the class was over I was confident and ready for the next day. They have courses you can rewatch online so you can really get the concept, which I found extremely helpful! I would highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn on multiple platforms.

Review №45

Some Real Estate schools want to sit a teach you how to sell or the art of deal. This is all great if you have the time! Jim and his instructors have but one goal, MAKE YOU PASS THE TEST! I enjoyed the way the classes were taught and how the information was given. I would gladly refer the American Real Estate college to anyone aspiring to be a real estate broker.

Review №46

These guys are the BEST! They know how to teach to the test and give you the best odds of passing the exam on the first try. Ive had several agents on my team waste 6 months on online courses with other schools, only to find that they are clueless on the exam. We sent those agents to American REC, and Jim had them exam ready in a couple of weeks. Dont waste your time or money with any of the online courses, just suck it up and call American.

I just completed the course at American Real Estate College. I found Jim (the owner and instructor) to be amazing. The thing that I enjoyed the most was his stories from his experience, they made me remember test answers. They also give you comprehensive guide to study for the test, in fact they dont let you take the test until you pass their ultimate final. I took my test today and received an 86 on the national and an 84 on the state. Considering 75% of people fail on the first try that isnt bad. Thank you Jim, and the rest of the people at American Real Estate College!!!!

One and done!!!! 2 days after I finished my finals I passed my test in one try.Two key points to keep in mind with ARES.1. If your trying to pass the RE test, state or national, ARES’s questions and ciriculum is so accurate to the nation and especially the state test exam. I breezed through the state exam with questions that I knew precisely.2. If your looking for real practical applications, you will find it. The instructors know what they’re doing and with a sounds moral compass. These guys are bettering the RE industry. Jim is always influencing us ways of making multiple streams of passive income.3. The community in class is great and doing finals and discussion questions it’s great conversating to better understand it.If your nervous about time commitment, so was I. They will work with your schedule so that you can do online videos if there is a day you can’t make it.All in all it took me just about 34 days and now I have passed my test and will take more classes from them like CAM and other classes from them. Thankful for them.

10 stars! I highly recommend American Real Estate College! I took the accelerated real estate course from the middle of November to the middle of December and passed my exam at the end of December. They give you all the tools you need for success to pass your exam and to be knowledgable in your real estate career. Jim is an exceptional teacher and role model. He is clearly very passionate about his work and school. Monique also cares for her students and always communicates so well with all of us! The class was very organized and interesting. I knew exactly what I needed to study for my exam. Jim, Monique, and Loren are always there for you to ask questions whenever needed. Without a doubt, I would recommend American Real Estate College to my close family and friends. Thank you so much, AREC!Here are the perks to this school:1) In-depth information given in class with useful stories that youll remember in exams. Pay attention to those stories! Great way to remember key terms.2) Helpful Youtube videos on classes ( if you miss a class or want to go over information again.)3) Great resources with several books, handouts, and cds.4) Several practice exams and tests that will surely make you feel confident with the terms and content.5) Incredible staff and teachers that actually care about their students success and are available for our needs.6) Comfortable learning environment that is conducive for focusing and studying. There is a classroom with a great open window and view. Plus, there is a study room for days to study after class or really anytime of your convenience when they are open.7) There is always coffee and water for our needs at all time!!! :) Snack machine located in the office as well!Hope that helps!

I am thrilled with American Real Estate College. Their educators have a deep knowledge and passion for what they are teaching. The teachers and administrative staff make special efforts to accommodate students special needs, and facilitate an environment of comaraderie. They also offer a full year to complete the course or retake it, provide in house tutoring and also, discounts to veterans.The curriculum is extensive and comprehensive, and in a myriad of teaching formats. Besides the live instruction, the school provides internet video of every lesson, DVDs for home study, CDs of vocabulary terms, and a memory stick with auxiliary practice tests. These varied teaching/learning modalities provided me with a rich base of knowledge necessary for passing the state Real Estate Exam and the tools to develop a successful real estate career.Many times lunch or dinner was catered by Real Estate Brokers looking to recruit associates, and mortgage brokers or other professionals related to the RE industry, offering information and educational opportunities to students, in exchange for potential future business. This furnished me with great insight and many learning opportunities.By being attentive and diligently utilizing the resources the school provided, in a month and a half of schooling and study, I was able to pass the Colorado State Real Estate Exam in my first attempt..I had previously taken a different Real Estate course at a Real Estate Academy, at almost the same price, but it just provided instruction at a fire hose pace and little else. I was left feeling ill prepared to take the test, and less prepared for developing a real estate business.Dont make that same mistake.American Real Estate College provides an educational environment that is a worth your time and money. They care enough to provide what you need to succeed.
