What Our Students Have to Say

As the leading North Carolina real estate school, for nearly two decades, aspiring real estate brokers have successfully partnered with Superior School of Real Estate to fulfill their dreams of becoming their own boss. Here is what some of our students have to say about their experience earning their real estate broker license with us:

One word: Unbeatable! After taking a course with JY Monk, I can vouch that Superior truly lives up to its name. The location and facilities are superb and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I will never go anywhere else. Tim Terry and Ben Wirtz are excellent instructors.

Carl Bower

There is no comparison. Superior is the best real estate school in existance. Maybe I am puffing (wink wink) a bit but they deserve it. You had me at hello. By the way, the support staff is superb as well. You kept me on the straight and narrow. One goal in front of me. Because of all of you I met that goal. And Bill, one of your best decisions was to hire Steve Robinson! I hear the other teachers are equally top notch as well. Now off to a well deserved soak in my hot tub, relaxing for a day before back to serious studying for the State exam- Thank You!

Andie Smith

Great school that really sets you up for success! I passed the class test and then the state test on my first try thanks to the great instruction I received. Great place to learn and take command of your real estate future!

What are the requirements for South Carolina real estate post-licensing courses?

South Carolina requires new licensees to complete any state-mandated post-licensing education as outlined by the SC Real Estate Commission after earning their license, though initial licensing starts with the 90-hour pre-licensing. Detailed post-licensing requirements are published by the Commission on the LLR site.

How does Superior School compare to other real estate schools in South Carolina?

Superior School offers a state-approved, 100% online pre-licensing course with instructor support, study guides, and exam prep resources, which can provide more structured support than many basic online providers. As a brand expanding into South Carolina with established curriculum and prep tools, it’s designed to help students succeed in the licensing exam. 

Are there any in-person or weekend real estate classes available in South Carolina?

Yes, some real estate education providers in South Carolina offer in-person and weekend classes.
