Excellent course! Easy to follow. They really explain things well. I love the videos the most. I passed my California exam first try! read more

Online courses can be difficult but I'm so glad I took this crash course. Mr. Nomara had great tips and advice for taking the test. The practice tests helped so much. I would have never felt as confident going into the exam if I had just studied my course notes on my own. read more

Great crash course, Mac N. Was the best, great inside information and life/agent knowledge, with a better personality. read more

I took the two day crash course. Given that I hadn't completed my real estate education with CA Realty Training before enrolling in the crash course, I wasn't sure what to expect, but amazing instructor Mac Nomura provided me with all the methods and a ton of information that I needed to pass the test. He is really patient, great mentor, makes the class fun, it was a memorable experience he emphasizes confidence and provides the absolute greatest examples for you to remember what you need to know for the test. Everybody interested in becoming an agent should take this course. read more

If I had not taken the two day Real Estate Exam prep course with Mike Shenkman in San Diego, I would not have passed. I was taught the foundation of Real Estate in such an awesome way that it will stay with me throughout my Real Estate career. Thank you CA Real Estate Training! I passed on my first try because of Mike Shenkman. Amazing prep course and I highly recommend. Thank you Mike! read more

Enrolled in CA realty training KW October 2020. Once I was done with the class Covid hit and I couldn't get a test date. A year passed and a test date became available. I enrolled and failed. (Soooo discouraging) took about another two months to reschedule the test. This time I was scheduled for July 13th which gave me two weeks to buckle down and study. I enrolled in the online crash course which lead me to Ian Medina! He was very personable and gave great examples of the concepts needed to pass the test. I watched his videos in the morning and right before bed. The quizzes after each lecture was a nice touch they both helped me pass. Thank you! read more

US Realty Training - Exhausted but I passed! Thanks Ian - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Loved the Class, easy to understand and Mac Nomura was great! He explained everything so well I feel so confident to take my Real Estate Exam and become your next Real Estate Agent! read more

Amazing crash course! Mac Nomura is an amazing instructor and made the 2 days really fun. He is very helpful, very detailed and answered all our questions. I feel very prepared for my crash course on Tuesday! Thank you! read more

Mac Nomura was outstanding teacher who not only shared a lot of wisdom but was also very patient, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire class. Throughout the course, I was impressed by the Mac's ability to simplify complex concepts and provide practical examples that made the material easier to understand. But what really stood out to me was the spiritual aspect of the class. Mac shared insights and wisdom that went beyond the technicalities of real estate and spoke to the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and being aligned with one's purpose. This really resonated with me and gave me a newfound appreciation for the role that spirituality can play in achieving success. To add to the review, I'm thrilled to share that I passed my real estate exam after taking this weekend crash course!! I feel grateful to have found such a comprehensive and engaging course, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to pass their real estate exam. read more

So after failing my test twice i feelt discouraged , came across the crash course just by google , turns out Ian was going to be my teacher , his Energy was everything to give me hope! Seriously ! Let's just say his experience in the field was very helpful ! Over all i don't regret spending the money worth every penny spent !!!! N was able to tex him if i had a question !so a week after attending his class , I am an Agent thank you Ian for your energy and support !!!! Margarita C. read more

US Realty Training - Ian Medina, don't know how many times I have to Thank u! But Thank U ! U have the best positive energy to teach!!! So so Natural! - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Santa Monica, California

To be honest, I didn't finish the course. After the 3rd or 4th lesson, I decided to go elsewhere for my learning. The content is dry, boring, and is delivered with a very old school approach. There is little to no context in what's being presented in the text and the content isn't interactive, so learning becomes a slog fest. It seems like the positive reviews are all for the "crash courses" or specific instructors, which I have not experienced. Bottom line, if you love reading and reading and reading and reading, and aren't into dynamic, fun, interactive, learning, this training course will be perfect for you. It didn't work for me so I'm putting this experience in the category of "not worth it." read more

I passed my first try. Mac gave me the most amazing tips and they worked! He was also super fun to learn from.

I took my course through CA realty training and signed up for the 2 day crash course. My instructor was Diane Brito, who was very knowledgable, skilled and competent. The course was not just a great refresher but allowed me to conceptualize a lot of the information I have been studying because of Diane sharing her personal experience and examples. read more

Ian is the REAL DEAL!!! I honestly can't recommend his servicies enough. I don't recommend that anyone does this, but I started studying for the state examen three nights before the test. The only study material I had was his crash course and I passed!!! I signed up for the online version and I was able to follow along perfectly in two and a half days. However, I wish I would have gone in person because Ian seriously seems like a great person. His crash course is more than real estate exam preparation, he is so motivating and gives awesome test taking tips. He's like your real estate exam cheerleader. His relaxation/meditation techniques really came in handy when I was an hour into the exam and getting really tired. More than anything, I felt that Ian really wanted me to pass!! Even though I didn't meet him in person, you could just tell that he is passionate about teaching real estate AND takes pride in building his students' confident UP before the exam. His examples actually stick (chattel, anyone?) and you can tell that he has so much experience teaching. He has an ease for teaching really bland, dense topics through real life, often funny, examples that are understandable and come in handy on the test. He also tells you everything you need to know about the testing site, what to do an not to do, and what to expect. Thank you so much, Ian. If you're unsure about investing in his crash course, look no further. It's absolutely worth it. You won't regret it. read more

Great Place to get your Real Estate License, lots of information and helpful resources

CA Realty Training provides an excellent program, I passed my real estate exam today and I couldn't be more happy!! I took the weekend crash course two weekends ago with Angela So and she was super thorough and helpful! Her advise really helped me to pass today! Anyhow, I totally recommend this course to anyone aspiring to become a real estate agent. Thanks Guys!! read more

Ian Medina, I hope you gonna read this. I took your class about two weeks ago in Marina del ray. I was gonna say Thank you after Sundays class but decided to write a review. I was expecting this class to be super boring but the second you started talking.... I was blown away. You are very special, have great energy and are also super knowledgeable. I laughed a lot during those two days. Your stories were amazing. I honestly can't imagine having better teacher. I took the exam last week and guess what? I passed:) Thank you Ian read more

Mac Nomura was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly effective in conveying theory behind all of the principles needing studied to pass the DRE exam. If you are looking for the extra edge, to give yourself the confidence you need to get through your exam, stop looking and schedule a class with Mac. I am beyond blown away with his teachings. read more

Woah, I really can't recommend this program enough! For anyone that is just starting out within the Real Estate industry, the CA Realty program and courses are very well structured, the material is top notch and incredible Mock State Exams. Mac Nomura was my Crash Course Instructor and really dived into all the tough aspect of the Real Estate Exam, provided helpful testing tips on how to approach that State Exam confidently. I highly advise anyone doing this program to add the Live Crash Course Preparation as soon as you finish your 3 main required courses (Finance, Principals and Practice). I'll be recommending CA Realty from here on forward, thank you so much for such a wonderful class and experience. read more

Mac Nomura was an amazing teacher. He was structured, blunt and truthful. He had great advice and I would recommend him to anyone. I am very happy I took this course. read more

Mac N. is an awesome instructor! He made the material easier to understand! Definitely recommend taking a crash course with him!

Amazing Crash Course Class with Mac Nomura. Very informative and he made it super easy to understand, build my self confidence. Mr. Nomura truly cares about his students. Highly recommend this class!! read more

I'm so happy I took this training crash course , Mac Nomura really cares about his students passing the exam. He really gives you the confidence you need when you get ready to take the state exam. He gives you lots of tools and advice about the real estate field. Take a crash course , great experience! read more

I am so glad that I chose CA Realty Training at Keller Williams in Bakersfield to start my real estate career. The course is great. It offers the best online coursework as well as live in class training. Dana Munson and Raymond Fraser are absolutely, hands down, top notch instructors. Dana and Raymond are knowledgeable, patient, caring instructors who take the time to make sure that you understand the coursework. I also took the 2 day online crash course with Ian Medina. Mr. Ian Medina excels in effectively communicating the State of California Department of Real Estate curriculum. Mr. Medina has a wealth of information and real life experiences that he presents in such a way that doesn't make the material confusing or complicated to understand. I can't emphasize this enough, but you need to understand the real estate concepts in order to pass the State Exam. Mr. Medina's ability to expound on his real life experiences made it very easy for me to understand and absorb the information. Mr. Medina is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable in the real estate field. This incredible team was instrumental in my ability to pass the State Exam on my very first try this past Thursday afternoon. Thank You read more

Diane Brito is ‼AMAZING!!! I took the 2- Day Crash Course on Super Bowl Weekend...that says it all. It was at the Santa Monica location and class had a mild obstacle . One technical glitch, even Robert Rico himself came in mid-morning attempting to fix the technical glitch. Despite this, Diane breezed through very gracefully. One could not tell there was a glitch because Diane captures your attention immediately. As an instructor, she engages with her students, she has her students engage amongst one another as she presents analytical issues and challenges her students to "think and solve issues that WILL arise in their future careers." Diane is not only very experienced and knowledgeable, but she has a passion for her career that she clearly conveys it to her students. And her students, can feel that vibrant passion and excitement. Diane literally makes the textbooks of Real Estate, Principles and Practice, come to life, by her ability to give her students "real life scenarios," and then has the students discuss the topics learned as a group, and very cleverly ties it into what to expect on the Real Estate Board Exam. She also guides her to students into establishing the core values of ethics & integrity. So that early on they learn to maintain those values. Then upon licensing, the student is now literally immersed in the Real Estate market and putting into motion the valuable lessons taught by Diane Brito! I PASSED my exam on the first try!! Thank you Diane- read more

Maayan was timely and informative in explaining what resources can be utilized for the online courses. For a program that you elect to be completely online, quality technical support and interface is usually what sets the great programs above the others. Both of which are easily accessible. I would definitely recommend this program, although a bit costly, to help you prepare for your real estate exam because it doesn't make you feel like you are on your own. No need to pay for those textbooks which cost an arm and leg, they also do not have Maayan to help you out! read more

LETS TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING THIS SCHOOL IS! I did the online courses (with video) and in-person crash course in Santa Monica with Ian Medina and I passed my exam! The online course with video is awesome (you feel like the teacher, Rico, is in the room with you). I tried another school before this one and I was so bored out of mind - these class are just reading and watching a video and then you take a quiz. Super easy to navigate! Now for the crash course with Ian... this is a MUST do! It is the reason I passed on my first try. It's so hard to know what to study but Ian breaks it down and tells great stories to help you remember. I used his "white board" trick and had all of my acronyms written down before I started the exam. This class is worth every penny! Thank you Ian!! *Only suggestion: Kindly ask people in the class who ask questions about things that are not on the test to save those questions for breaks. We wasted time listening to people ask all about commission cuts, etc... the course is to pass the exam not a personal training from agent! Overall an amazing experience. I would highly recommend attending CA Realty School if you want to learn a ton AND PASS! read more

I used CA Realty for both my courses at Keller Williams Westlake Village and the Crash​ Course. The crash course at Santa Monica was the best thing I could have done before taking the test. Ian Medina made so much sense in all of that big thing called Real Estate. He explained all the concepts with life examples that made those tricky questions not so tricky and scary anymore​. After understanding the concepts, and not just memoried the answer to each practice question I was ready!! No matter how they worded the question I knew how to "clean" it and see it for what it was and answer it easily​. Ian Medina is a great teacher. Make sure to schedule your test in​ the same week you take the crash course, so the material will be fresh in your brain. Goodluck all! read more

I took strictly online courses and crash course. I believe you are given adequate material to pass without needing additional material and Mr. Medina makes the crash course online very interesting with his stories that the material will stick. Make sure to fully understand concepts and terms to help pass the exam. The proctors at the La Palma facility are not as mean as they made them sound like and are actually very nice and provide a peaceful atmosphere. I took the exam today and passed! I did review the questions for a second time to make sure I was happy with answers and was glad I did on a few. So thank you team for providing well structured material that is easy to follow and understand. read more

I had taken my real estate training course and really needed help before taking my exam. I did the CA Realty Training Crash Course in Santa Monica with Diane two weeks ago . I took my exam yesterday and passed first time, I don't think I would have passed without he course . Having the course material to be able to review on your computer or phone is great. You can also have the additional option of also being able to rewatch all the course via video Thank you read more

There were endless choices when searching the internet for real estate crash course trainings. I chose CA Realty Training, and am so glad I did because of their super star instructor Diane Brito. She is knowledgeable, patient, and takes her time with everyones questions. She keeps you focused to the task at hand of PASSING THE EXAM. Everything else you will learn in the field. I Highly recommend this company and Thank you to Diane Brito for single handedly helping me pass my real estate exam and become a Certified California Real Estate Agent. read more

Just passed my Real Estate exam!!!! I don't think I would do it if I haven't attend one of Ian Medina's crash courses. His teaching skills are amazing and very easy to understand. Ian gave us a lot of tips and confidence before taking the test. Highly recommended crash courses!!! read more

Ian Medina is the business. I'm honestly not sure if i would have passed the exam without taking the crash course with Ian. That being said, I PASSED :D !!! The training here was absolutely brilliant! I loved this course. Sure, I got a little antsy with it being eight hours for two days and all haha but Ian gets you pumped up about real estate. He relates his training to similar stories, which allow you to get a real good understanding of what's being taught. He answers all your questions, encourages participation, and will make you laugh :D I loved this class, and I highly recommend it!! Great location, clean, open space and lots of street parking (parking lot closed on weekends). Good luck, my fellow real estate agents!! xx read more

Thank you to the whole team at CA Realty Training for helping guide me to pass my State Exam! I first got all set up by walking into the office and meeting with Kian. He set me up for the classes and was very helpful. My first month of class was taught by Robert Rico. Robert has a very dynamic personality and makes class fun, coming up with unique ways to relate real life situations to the Real Estate Industry (smoky pool hall,etc). Thank you Rico! After a scheduling change, my next two months were taught by Ashley Wrobel. Wow-- what a wealth of knowledge she is!! She has also been very helpful and has given me great advice so far on what my next steps should be in the Real Estate Industry. Finally, I took the Real Estate Crash course with Ian Medina. He did a wonderful job cramming a whole lot of info into one weekend. He was able to share some of his own personal experiences to relate to the exam material. Very helpful. I took the State Exam two days after the Crash Course and was able to pass on my first attempt! Thanks again to the whole team-- highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about getting their Real Estate License!! read more

I took my crash course with Diane Brito and passed my exam on the first try. Diane's methodological training and breaking down real-life examples helped me consume all the information I needed to understand and pass the exam easily. I was the last person entering the exam room due to confusion with designated parking and waiting in line just to get started but I was the first one out with a passing score! It was worth every penny taking the crash course before the exam. I highly recommend this course if you want to have a greater chance of passing the exam first time around. Thank you Diane! read more

Diane Brito was the best instructor ever! She really brought the information down to real world utilization. I feel very confident that I will successfully pass my state exam. read more

My fiancé and I took the online classes with CA Realty Training and we found the quality and the content of the training to be superb. Between the main instructional videos with Robert Rico and the crash course with Ian Medina, the training felt so hands on that we never once felt we were missing out by not being in a classroom. We breezed through our real estate exam and are forever grateful. We highly recommend CA Realty Training. If you follow the program, you are 100% set up for success! read more

Excellent! Ian's GREAT and explains everything so well. He's a born teacher. When you leave Ian's course you're confident and prepared. Buy the video that accompanies the course ($100). It's worth every penny. I used it as a review and study guide. I passed the State Exam on my first try. It's trickier than expected so study hard, but you have everything you need with Ian Medina and CA Realty Training. If I could give Ian more stars I would. Thank You! read more

No Chase. Wrong again. Just because the students in that weekend crash course didn't feel they could be honest enough and attest to Diane's ridiculous ways - and I do mean- ridiculous - is not any indication to her doing a grave misjustice to multiple people. Can you imagine someone asking a question to her, and just because she didn't know the answer, her quipping, "Ah, Gina, do you want to take this one?" What?? You pay for a crash course, and the instructor confuses the hell out of you, and then asks a mortgage broker, who's trying to learn too and pass her exam to step up nd answer a question?! Yuk! Why don't you find out how many people left for San Diego the next morning -- and failed!! They are all going to Ian Medina because your crash course was a waste of time and money! We should all get our money back! Ian offers that and more! Let me be clear - the reason I passed the first time was because I took a live crash course with him in Bakersfield! Yes, I followed up with his videos that you offered, but I still had his book that I kept from the previous time that I was in his class. Your videos are old. But, an old video of his is still far better than any new video you have with anyone else, I think the thing that got me most upset was when I privately texted Diane to tell her that there were multiple students who were driving that night to take the exam the following morning and to please focus on getting them to pass. Do you know what she said and did? No, of course you don't. Let me tell you. She texted me back and said that the course was a 2 day 8-5 one and that she wasn't going to finish any sooner! She was so clueless as to what she was doing, I had to text her back and tell her that I wasn't asking her to finish sooner, but that people were feeling overwhelmed and confused. Do you know what her response was? She turned off her phone!! Yes! Turned off her phone. if you'd like - I'll be happy to show you the thread of texts. I do not lie. And I detest the way you are! And just try to counter any of this and I will take the time to make a copy of the text messages of the students complaining about her to me! And I will have at least one of those students who failed!! to write their own review. People get intimidated and want to move on. Well, I reached out and told them NOT to try one of your crash courses again and risk the very same thing happening! And I gave them Ian Medina's number and website address. You can try all day long to defend your inept and unqualified instructors. It falls on deaf ears. You're a business owner. What does a business owner do? Try to keep their business alive. Well, if you want to keep it alive, get Diane out of the crash course part of it, I have never felt more disenfranchised and exasperated. For you to deny another student to get on with their real estate career by being honest is a further indication of ruthlessness. How much do you really care about the students in who's hard earned money you take? How many people do you simply push through your school without any regard for what happens next.? Don't answer that, No need. Your response is inevitably apparent. read more

Ian Medina is amazing!! I took the 2-day weekend crash course with him and I passed my real estate salesperson exam the next week! He made the class fun, energetic and gave plenty of examples about the concepts. Make sure you understand the concepts and not just memorize the questions and answers. The exam can be quite tricky, so you need to be prepared to understand what and why you are picking a certain answer. This is the key to passing, is understanding the material. I highly recommend taking this class before the exam! Thank you so much Ian, I am now a licensed real estate salesperson in California :) read more
