  Brenda, Bill, and Rick are awesome! The course really helps you learn the material needed to pass the Real Estate exam. I was hesitant on trying a different online course or just biting the bullet and doing the full zoom course through CLI, and I’m so thankful I decided to go with CLI. Knowing what I know now, going through the entire course/textbook material, on my own, without a teacher there to help me along the way would have added weeks, if not months to the process of passing the exam. Thanks again! Ps. Melissa from the office was amazing as well! She was there every step of the way to answer all my questions(even the dumb ones!)

  When I first became interested in obtaining my real estate license, I asked the Agents I knew who they recommended. Repeatedly, I hear CLI, and they could not have been more correct. I enrolled in CLI, completed pre-licensure training and passed my state exam with a score well above 90 with ease. When people ask me who I credit with my success on the exam, I mention that while I view myself as a good test-taker, I was so well-prepared by CLI, I could've passed with my eyes closed. Hahaha I do credit CLI with amazing classes, test prep and a genuinely supportive staff. If you are so blessed, you'll meet and learn from iconic, Bill. I am grateful I chose CLI and I would choose them for any of my real estate education goals. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

  Melissa is truly incredible! When I called, she had such a happy voice and was able to answer all of my questions while providing all the pertinent information I needed! It is truly rare to find someone genuine and who cares about the people they speak with. I hope I get to speak with Melissa every time I call! Thank you for your amazing customer service!!

  I had a problem. A fantastic property management job opened up with the best company in Middle Tennessee, but they needed me to start ASAP and I couldn't start until I was licensed. The calendar for upcoming sessions was clear. I paid online and when I picked up materials and met Melissa, I knew it was all going to be great. She greeted me warmly, confirmed that I had the fastest path lined up, and welcomed me to do the sessions from the classroom if I wanted. (60 hours of zoom can be brutal.) There were 6 instructors, each with varying personalities and styles but all professionals with heaps of experience (and plenty of stories). We covered a text the size of a phone book as well as a separate folder full of content in two weeks of classes. Especially helpful were the licensing checklists and reminders to study the terms, review pages, and sample tests. I was able to take the classes, take the proctored exam, get fingerprinted, submit the paperwork, and have my license in only six weeks. Two very minor things: a few instructors will say you need a calculator for the test. The testing site has a giant basket of calculators. I wasted $4 at Walmart getting one. The other thing is call for fingerprint scheduling even though it can be a 30 min hold. The identigo website is... subpar. All that to say, great experience overall. Melissa is a wonder. Eleven stars.
