Several years ago I took a real estate sales course at Manfred Real Estate Learning Center. In the middle of the course my father suffered a heart attack and I immediately flew to Florida. I called Manfred to let them know what was going on. They were very sympathetic and told me to take care of my family and worry about the class when I returned. I missed several classes. When I returned they were able to get me into makeup classes within a week. I was still able to take the state exam with the rest of the class. The customer service at Manfred is exceptional, friendly, and personal. It is great to go into a business and be greeted by name. The instructors kept the class interactive and interesting. After reading the text books and taking Manfred's courses I had no problem passing the state exam, even with the personal issues I had going on. Manfred's course did an excellent job not only preparing me for the exam but preparing me for a career. The Instructors that Manfred uses have been successful in their personal careers and had a lot of great advice. I knew I was learning success from success. Which is why I continue to go to Manfred, Not only do they offer continue education but they also offer courses to enhance your growth in business. Whenever I go to Manfred I am never disappointed. I always walk away feeling the money and time was well spent. I would highly recommend Manfred to anyone looking to further their careers. read more

I took the "blended" course and found that if I took the full on-line course, I would have retained more and remembered more, but unfortunately, I did not. I found the "teachers" to be less than adequate. Only 1 was good and she was the first teacher. The rest were bad. One told us about his family that had nothing to do with RE but we all now know about his brother who was arrested. Another told us we could be millionaires in 1-year which is false and misleading information, and yet another treated us like we were students in elementary school in 1877! The students who knew the teachers were more likely to have their questions answered and the rest of us had to wait or never be picked on, or even got a sarcastic answer. If you want your RE license, find another school closer to you, this one is run by the children of the founder and they are children. We are not given practice exams nor are we given practice exams. When we take the school exam, they do not tell us what questions are wrong! My friends who took the test were allowed their phones, therefore they CHEATED!!! If you want your RE license, shop around but take the class online! read more

I had a great experience with Manfred. I was able to work hard and complete the course in a short amount of time. The slides were accurate and to the point. I was able to pass the real estate exam on the first try without any trouble. It was great to be able to do everything from home on my own schedule. I worked for about 4 hours a day and it took me two weeks to get my license. I would completely recommend Manfred to anyone looking to get their real estate license. I saw someone posted something about out of date information being in the text books, I did not have this experience. If you are going to be a real estate agent you will learn most of what you need on the job anyway. The entrance exam is a good tool to start your education but is by no means the end of your learning. the laws are constantly changing and it is the responsibility of your broker and yourself to be up to date and proficient in the laws pertaining to whatever real estate niche you end up in. read more

We have had the honor of working closely with the Manfred Real Estate Learning Center on several occasions. They are always very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with and to learn from. The training they provide is unparalleled. Several of our team members have attended their courses both to obtain their RE license as well as for continuing education. Everyone who has attended has come back with amazing reviews (and a great education!). I can highly recommend Manfred for all of your Real Estate educational needs. You simply will not find a better organization here, or anywhere for that matter. Glenn Schworm President Signature Home Buyers read more

I wrote a 5 star review for Manfred in 2014 that expresses the same thing I feel today . . . that it is an excellent real estate school, that the instructors do their best to make their subjects informative and engaging, and that the staff is fantastic. My original review will hopefully still be under the "reviews that didn't make the cut" at the bottom of the Manfred page, where you have to click to see the extra reviews. What I can't understand is why all the detailed, 5 star reviews didn't make Yelp's "cut", but the 3 and 1 star complaining reviews all did. Let's see how this review does! read more

"I had a wonderful experience at Manfred. I enjoyed meeting so many new people and gathering insites from instructors. I felt very welcomed at Manfred. I felt like a person, not a number. Complimentary coffee, tea, and occasional snacks were very appreciated. It was great having the kitchen area for lunches so I didn't have to buy every day. I think class time was divided appropriately between teaching and breaks given. I'm looking forward to returning to Manfred for CE classes." read more

"The classes and bootcamps are interesting and academically stimulating which is extremely useful. The classes are taught in a manor that the inexperienced agents could easily understand and grasp the information being taught. What I liked most about Manfred was the constant high quality service that was an on going theme from start till finish. Thank you so much for the great lessons and the knowledge I was able to gain through Manfred! Crystal Boehler CNE" read more

I took my real estate licensing class a few years ago. The instructors were dedicated and professional. It is a lot of hours spent in a chair, but I feel the instructors try to make the best of it by scheduling quick breaks. Since then I have taken two of the Negotiations Classes held at Manfred. It has been a pleasure and the knowledge I have gained has proved to be useful. Thank you Manfred! read more

My experience with Manfred Real Estate was wonderful! From the staff to the instructors. While some of the material was dry, the instructors did a good job making it interesting. Due to the hours the Real Estate course requires, I felt each day the breaks were broken up just right. Highly recommend Manfred Real Estate Learning Center to anyone interested. read more

I found my experience at the Manfred School to be excellent. The staff is very knowledgeable, and very qualified. If traffic is a concern well than i would look for a Real Estate school somewhere in the countryside. Its Albany the capital of New York, i went there fully expecting traffic. I would definitely recommend to anyone pursuing a career in this field. read more
