NAR Economist: ‘Housing Recession Is Over’ Contract signings picked up the pace last month, and home buyers are increasingly facing multiple offer situations. NAR releases its housing forecast for the remainder of the year and 2024.

We received this recently from a student in our Pre-license class in July:

"I passed my test today both of them woohoo! I studied every day and I still felt there were quite a few questions on the state test that I didn't know much about at all. Wish I had photographic memory now that I'm done with the test I can't remember a thing LOL.

I know I passed because you did such a great job thank you so much!!"

Most students call us or drop in excited they just passed their exam! But some email, like this student Kelli M.

Congrats to all our students.
