I would like to give a 5 start review to teacher Veronica Jones, she had been always so helpful and nice to all her students. I took classes with her in Beverly hulls location Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 pm to 9 pm. I highly recommend to take with her and only with her the classes if you would like to succeed in your examination. Thank you Veronica. read more

I'm a returning client and had couple of questions before taking the relevant courses again. Karen responded within 24 hours and was extremely helpful and pleasant. Thank you read more

I don't understand the rave reviews. While the class was "fun" I can guarantee it lacked depth. You won't learn what you need to pass the exam - I felt so unprepared. Especially, when I joined a different company's crash course. I took an SMC course prior and I've retained the information after a whole year. 3 weeks is NOT enough. read more

Had doubts about doing in-person classes when many friends insisted I just do online courses but I am SO happy I decided to give it a shot with CA Realty. Our professor Davi Davenport is AMAZING! She brings such great energy to each and every class and really breaks down the material so it's easy to understand. Her examples are beyond helpful in explaining concepts/key terms and I can't imagine getting this kind of thorough, experiential training from online courses. Super grateful! read more

To begin with passing RE license it's extremely hard only 15-25% pass at any given test session specially in Anaheim which is super hard, I heard in SD is easier. Other things that now that I have my licence I realized nobody wants new licences included KW and if they do they make you pay $200 a month for insurance $309 for office pay for copy pay for Mls pay for board it's about $500 a month and if anyone sue for any reason there will be $10k out of your pocket also commission on first three deals is 50/50 plays out if your 50 you still have to pay another %70 and again not many hire. As far as this school is concern they have 3 major flaws: 1- their physical classes are superfluous and won't cover any of test stuff. Waste of time and money also they have no parking so each time you have to pay $5 for public parking after 6pm. But problem is they cover maybe 2% and easy stuff not tough test material. 2- their portal and book PDF is not downloadable and they want you to buy the books in papers. 3 books 1509 pages. Their Exam simulations are very hard and I tried them, it's really a turn off and harder than state exam itself. Also questions in their simulation are not even in the test. Not even remotely. 3- their crash courses are not refundable if you fail, all other crash course places offer free second or 3rd classes until you pass the test, these folk they only take half off. I find a place that refund the $150 if I fail twice and the second class is free. So for me ÇA reality school was a $600 waste of money and I don't recommend them. I suggest to get your 3 certificates online at not more than $100 and then get a crash course like I did. It has been one year now that I study and I failed twice. It is very very hard. Questions are in the most complex formulation, wordy and they have their own weird vocabularies. Don't believe on this school slogan that it's walk in the park and you make million bucks in your first year. 15% pass the test after multiple failed and maybe only 10% of licence agent out in town actually are making money. read more

Davi Davenport brings so much energy to her classes, the material comes to life. I highly recommend her class as she's able to convey complex concepts in an easily digestible way. Great instructor! read more

Had a great time going to class and listening to lectures with Veronica! She is insightful and shows that she really cares about her student's success! Getting the additional in class training is definitely worth it. In addition to studying the textbook material, it's important to get insight on what the day to day tasks of a real estate agent is really like and what it takes to make a good agent. I've just passed all my online exams and am waiting for the BRE to review my paperwork in order to schedule for the state exam. Wish my luck! Thanks again Veronica, hope to get to work with you in the future. read more

Veronica is awesome, really friendly and is a great teacher. She spends time getting to know all of the class and answering all of their questions, no matter how many they have or how silly they are. You go through about 3 chapters per class and the class is 2 hours long. It's a very open feeling, she asks the class to answer questions, shout out if they don't understand anything. I live locally, but people seem to come from a long way away to take her class as she is the best. You won't be disappointed read more

These classes could very easily be a snooze fest but I found them interesting and was excited to come to class with Kathryn Shafer. She doesn't just review the material but spends time in every class talking about real experiences she has had in the real estate world. She also brings in speakers from escrow, title, and mortgage companies so you get a complete education of everything you will encounter once you are licensed. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and felt I learned WAY more than what was written in the course material. Kathryn is extremely kind and always available to answer your questions or provide guidance when necessary. She's truly a wealth of information and good person to have in your corner. Since completing my courses, I have taken my state exam, and passed! Would highly recommend these classes. read more

This is simply a tremendously effective class. I searched around Los Angeles for the best real estate classes I could find and feel so very lucky that I found CA Realty Training and Kathryn Shafer. Kathryn is an accomplished master of real estate and teaches her class in a personable, fun and engaging style. She is a serious teacher of the craft and utilizes not only her vast personal experience but also invites experts in the fields of Escrow, Lending and Insurance to speak about all the different aspects of real estate you will encounter in the field. This class not only prepares you for the state exam but more importantly, it teaches you what the actual business of real estate will entail in real world situations. Kathryn Shafer is a teacher with one goal, to effectively prepare you to confidently practice real estate successfully and with a professional level of competence. I went into my first class tentatively unsure about this seemingly confusing profession; I graduated Kathryn's class with the sure knowledge that I not only understand real estate now, but will thrive in it. I simply cannot recommend these classes enough. read more

There are good instructors, then there is Renee Despins who is absolutely remarkable and inspiring. I sat in a couple of other real estate classes before finding Renees class; I signed up immediately. Renee is engageging and has a great sence of humor. My confidence is the field grew because of her. As far as CA Realty Training; the school is effective providing their students with a wealth of information and they really do want their students to succeed. The online sources are very user friendly. I am profoundly grateful that I found this class. Thank you!!! read more

DAVI DAVENPORT!!!! That's all I need to say! I was so nervous to take on this new adventure but the minute Davi walked into the room and introduced herself I knew I was on the right path! Davi, you are so energetic and inspirational! Thank you for sharing your life experiences and making class FUN! read more

This is a review of CA Realty Training Instructor Renee Despins: I started attending her classes on Saturdays at your Beverly Hills, CA location last December 2016. I just wanted to take this time to let you what a fantastic instructor she is! She has inspired and motivated me to someday become like her. I admire her enthusiasm and down-to earth character. She has so much knowledge to share with her students. Renee is the utmost professional and expert in her field! Not only does she take the time to answer all of my questions, she has become a great colleague, adviser, and a new friend! She also goes the extra mile and makes sure to check up on my progress and gives me support in showing me the path to SUCCESS! There's a lot of work to do with this new career--but as Renee said to me--"You only get out, what you put into it!" I love Renee's dedication with her profession and I too, look forward to a successful career in Real Estate! I always believe that if you have passion/focus/drive in whatever you do, want to learn new things, not be afraid to ask for some help along the way, and be a person with integrity, then you will always succeed with your goals! And of course, I believe in working smarter and not necessarily harder! Thanks Renee for all of your support and confidence in me and inviting me to become one of your colleagues at Keller Williams Hollywood Hills. For all of the reasons above, that is why I chose you to become my sponsor. "May the force always be with us" at KWHH! I can't wait to practice what I have learned and to be mentored by someone at KWHH who is just as talented, driven, knowledgeable and kind-hearted as you! read more

Veronica is amazing. She loves her job loves teaching and really connects with her students. She happily answers any and all questions and helps in any way she can. She also gets the class to engage which I think is important in order to learn. Me and a bunch of others are on our last class (of the 3) and are sad to go! I'm glad I chose to take this class over online classes elsewhere where you just read books to yourself in order to learn. I highly recommend Veronica! (This is CA Realty training through the Keller Williams Beverly Hills location Tuesdays and Thursdays) *side note: you must study a lot and go over as much material as you can before class in order to have the info soak in and to be able to understand enough and have your questions ready.. she covers about 3 chapters per class which is 6 per week!! read more

I passed the State Exam 2 days ago on my first try! The key to success: 1. CA Realty School Portal - easy and interactive. 2. Attending classes. Stay on track with lessons and course material. 3. Completing - Principles, Practice and Finance. 4. Obtaining the required certificates. 5. Weekend crash course. A must! before writing the State Exam I didn't purchase the hardcover books. The online portal was my go to guide and Saturday morning classes with Renee Despins in Beverly Hills. Renee's humour is fun. The material is super dry and comes alive when Renee presents. Renee motivates you to stay on track and finish the required reading on time. She makes herself available after class and responds quickly to texts and emails. Thank you Renee! read more

Veronica Jones, CA Realty & Keller Williams are the perfect Trifecta! Seamless & Stream-less, on our way to making money! Thank you Keller Williams! read more

After being told for years that I should get into real estate by friends I'd helped find apts in NYC, I moved to LA and finally decided to take some classes - if nothing else I'd learn something new. I found CA Realty Training online and signed up, as the classes were at Keller Williams (well-respected, to say the least) just minutes from my apt. Rico filled in for the first "audit" class and gave an overview of the instructors, their styles and personalities. Kathryn Shafer sounded right up my alley: down to earth, lots of great experiences to share, and guest speakers to learn from and bring the material to life. And, she taught on Saturday, which was a must with my full-time job. The material is dry - lots of rote memorization and facts, however, Kathryn's Saturday classes were invigorating. What a great body of experience she has to call on - and man does she tell a good story! Her real life examples are not only a hoot, but they bring to life the material in ways that make it easy to remember. Kathryn's guest speakers (at least one per class) are also a nice touch, breaking up the 3-4 hour class, and allowing us all to ask experts to clear up any confusions we might have on the reading/slides. Also, each expert also makes themselves available beyond the class, which is a HUGE advantage. Beyond class, Kathryn is as generous with her own time as she is with her stories, making herself available to students at any time over coffee or a drink to talk further. I also really like her ethical standards - Kathryn not only relays the ethics the book talks about, but consistently reminds us not to do things we aren't comfortable, if it feels icky it probably is, and to never risk a friendship or your own morals for a buck. Kathryn took me from someone who was curious to learn more, to someone who is now excited to start his career in real estate. I feel empowered and supported in that decision, fully knowing Kathryn is always just a phone call or a margarita away. read more

I love coming to my RE class Saturday mornings! Renee (our instructor) is sooo amazing, she is very very informative and explains the material in such an interesting way! She is very motivating!!! I'm so happy that she is my teacher, I absolutely admire her!! so far, i finished one of the 3 textbooks. Looking forward to the next 2 textbooks with Renee! Very friendly atmosphere in the classrooms, and in general - amazing school if you are looking to get your career started in this field. Thank you! read more

Renee Despins has very easy to understand training style with a little sense of humor English it's my second language and I was worried about the program CA Realty training simplified step by step and I was lucky to have Renee kindly answer to all my questions Great program great teachers! Highly recommended! read more

Great class with Renee!!! I wasn't overly excited to take a Saturday class but due to working full time it was the only option I had. Renee made the class fun, exciting and teaches from experience... exactly what I was looking for. For success; go to class, read the material and take the tests... not rocket science. So much more motivating from taking the class online. If you are looking to get into Real Estate this is a great place to begin! read more

I am currently in Veronica Jones' class and she is absolutely wonderful! In addition to her clear and streamlined teaching methods, Veronica's real life experience, advice, and examples are what truly set her apart in her instruction. She is always prepared and ready to teach her students what they need to know in order to be successful in the course. Her passion for real estate is contagious, and she brings that energy to each and every lesson. I really enjoy learning about the real estate industry from her, and I know it will pay dividends in my future as a real estate professional. read more

She makes the hours in class fly by because of how fun the class is. I'm going to miss being apart of this class. Thank you Veronica and Keller Williams!!! read more

Renee Despins teaches a really fun class. There are many choices out there to get an education in Real Estate. CA Realty Training offers both an online course with supplemental video lectures by owner Robert Rico and an in class power point presentation with working professionals like Renee throughout Los Angeles. The Beverly Hills location is the only one that offered Saturday classes to fit my work schedule. Attending classes was a very important decision factor in choosing CA Realty Training and much to my surprise Renee presented the material in a fun, informative, supportive and energetic manner. She encourages her students to network with each other and to start letting people know about their new career in real estate right away in order to build momentum and enthusiasm for a business she clearly loves and has been very successful in. I tried another online program two years ago and wasn't able to get through the first chapter. The CA Realty Training web portal is interactive, easy to navigate and offers a variety of support services. Thank you Renee and thank you Robert! read more

Renee Despins truly cares about each and every student that walks through her classroom doors. I haven't taken the state exam yet, but I'm sure I'll be well equipped because of Renee. You won't regret taking her class! read more

Real Estate can be a very dry subject and a lot of it is hard to understand, like the whole mortgage system, but luckily I found a great teacher! Renee Despins teaches from the heart and has wealth of knowledge to share. Ca Realty Training does offer just an online course but having an experienced realtor with great personal real estate stories has made all the difference. Renee is animated and energetic and breathes life into the otherwise routine material. This is a great class with a lot of information and Renee makes it fun and something you look forward to going to. read more

I recently completed the three courses required to sit for the Real Estate Salesperson exam, all on-line and in conjuction with the Robert Rico videos. It was an excellent preparation for the exam itself, which I passed this week! I also took the weekend Crash Course, ably taught by Ian Medina, two days before the exam. Hats off to CA Realty Training for a wonderful package of information...highly "Rico"mmended! read more

Veronica Jones is truly an amazing teacher! I was impressed from the first class I took with her. You can tell she really cares about your personal success in not only your Real Estate career but in life. Veronica would use the slides as a guide but she would also provide the class with real life experiences which helped me further understand how real estate works. She answered any and all of our questions and made sure we understood the material. Thank you for making the class fun and enjoyable!! read more

Veronica is the best! She teaches the material in a really interesting and engaging way. You can tell she really cares that we all do well

Wow! This class made learning real estate courses so much fun. I took Saturday morning classes with Renee Despins. She is so enthusiastic about her career and helping her students to engage and learn exciting new concepts. I always looked forward to coming to these classes.

If you are dedicated and willing to learn the material you will do great. Thank you Renee for making this new career so exciting and fun from the get-go. read more

I am fully confident this class I will go the distance due to me having all the tools and preparation needed thanks to Renee and Keller Williams training program. read more
