How much does it cost to get a license all together?
Tuition is $499 for the in-person or live webinar class, or $199 for the on-demand home study course. State and testing fees are paid separately; see the next questions for details.
What is included in the course?
Our course includes an online textbook, but we don’t rely on it heavily in our teaching. Instead, we use real-life stories and experiences to help you understand concepts like contracts and duress. We also offer online access to videos and practice questions, which are the best resources for reviewing material and preparing for the exam. Our approach is designed to help you prepare for the state exam and for your first months in the business.
Are there separate charges for things like textbook or other additional fees for the course?
No need to wonder about extra fees from our school. Everything is included in your tuition of $499 (in-person or live webinar) or $199 (on-demand), and we don’t use physical textbooks. Separately, you’ll pay outside fees for fingerprinting (IdentoGO), the PSI state exam and your license application, plus E&O insurance. These are set by other agencies and can change, so check the current amounts with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission and PSI.
When is the next live class?
November 2–20, 2026, weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Join in our Johnson City classroom or live on Zoom. It’s the same class, and you get the Zoom recordings if you miss a day.
Is the $199 on-demand course taken online?
It is a home study course. This course is approved by the Tennessee Real Estate Commission as a home study (paper-and-pencil) course. Course materials and lessons are provided online for your convenience. You have 12 months to finish, you can email your instructor and get a reply within 24 hours, and many students finish in as little as four weeks.
What if my plans change?
Course payments are final, but you can transfer your course within 365 days of purchase. Call us at (423) 430-9547 and we will help.
