Probably one of the best and most motivational classes I have ever taken. The only reason I gave 5 stars is because you can’t give 6!!! Robert Rico is the BEST!!! Very enthusiastic, great class if you have no prior real estate knowledge you will definitely leave here feeling ready to take on the real estate world! Very good instructor, if you are considering then absolutely YES! Take this training course!

Singing up for CA Training Realty was truly a great experience for me. My instructor Rico was very passionate and knowledgeable about the real estate industry and he was able to teach us so much more than any book or class could. I’m so glad that I found this course and now I’m able to go and take my state exam with the knowledge and confidence that I needed. I recommend this course to anybody who is looking to really think outside the box and truly learn about Real estate

The Ca Realty Training course was very informative and Robert Rico was an inspiring and effective teacher. I passed the state exam on the first try after taking the course and I’d recommend it for anyone wanting to get into real estate.

Folks… I am not kidding when I say that my experience here was more than that of learning!
Mr. RICO, having over 25 years of teaching experience has truly transformed him into the quintessential teaching master of today. He CARES! You don’t teach that long for the money. And that is evident every time I stepped into his classroom.
One is always skeptical when seeing all the «5 star» ratings. But I swear to you it is 100% legitimate. Mr. RICO is kind, energetic, funny, patient, and so many other things that make you as a student want to return.
The 3 months went by so fast, and may I say they were a blast. I truly will miss the classroom experience. He truly is at the top of his class, and I appreciate the time he took out his day to not only teach us his knowledge and concepts of real estate, but also to make it interesting and exciting.
Rico, you are the man!

Robert Rico is a great teacher. I was referred to his class by a friend who said to take it in person with him instead of online, because it is much easier to get through it in person. She was a 100% right! I would recommend this class to absolutely anyone interested in real estate. Robert Rico makes the material fun, interesting and memorable and the two hour class flies by. His enthuasium for Real Estate, people and teaching is contagious. Going to such an upbeat class makes it easy to come to class everyday. He took real estate and made it come alive which is something very few teachers or an online class could do. I 100% recommend this class and know you will happy you took it from such a great teacher!

CA Realty Training’s Robert Rico makes the real estate textbooks meaningful and come alive with stories from his personal experience. He is a knowledgeable, experienced realtor and a seasoned teacher. Entertaining and riveting — an inspirational and educational real estate course!

Rico is an incredible teacher! He’s smart, thoughtful, interesting and throughly entertaining. All around his course was a wonderful experience. Rico for 2016!!!

If you are mulling over different options on where to get your real estate training, just stop right now. There is no other teacher I would rather learn this material from than Robert Rico. He is far and away one of the most passionate teachers I have come across in my life. His excitement and genuine passion for the real estate profession only makes me more eager to get started as a realtor. The resources provided through CA Realty Training program along with the personal experiences openly shared by Robert gave me the tools necessary to become a successful realtor in Los Angeles. I can’t wait to get started, and I believe you will feel the same after this course! Thanks again Rico!

Robert Rico is an incredibly special teacher. If you think back to those 1 or maybe 2 teachers you had in middle/​high school or college that really stood out and will always be remembered — that is what is going on here. I genuinely had fun attending class and hearing his experiences while he taught the material in an engaging and interactive way. I am one of those people who tried to do the courses online myself first and just kept getting bored and putting it off until I got fed up and looked for an in-​person class to just GET IT DONE! I’m so glad I did, because now 3 months later I’m finished, and preparing for my state exam. This wasn’t the closest class to my house, but after going the first night I knew that it was everything the other reviews said, and a little extra drive was worth it!

This course is a must if you want to succeed in Real Estate. The instructor, Robert Rico, shares his energy and knowledge so it it easy to understand and fun to attend. I finished the course tonight and can’t wait to get started on a new adventure in Real Estate.

I have one week left of CA Realty Training with Mr. Robert Rico and Its been a great journey thus far. I went into it without any expectation or without being decided if I truly desired a Real Estate career. Rico has influenced me in a positive way. His real life experience as a realtor was shared in an honest & «keeping in real» fashion. I learned plenty in this structured classroom setting & I encourage this training to others. Good luck to all!

I recently finished my education with CA realty training in May & I couldn’t have been more pleased with the course. Robert Rico is the best instructor! There was never a dull moment in class and despite my busy schedule I always tried to make it even though it was later in the evening.
CA Realty provides students with all the resources needed to pass the state exam– from online practice tests to PowerPoints along with class discussions. The teachers are always available via email to answer questions & offer guidance when class is complete.
I have just landed an executive assistant position at a boutique real estate company in Brentwood — looking forward to starting my new career! Thanks CA REALTY!

I had planned on taking this course online originally. I’m so glad I didn’t do that! Being in class makes a HUGE difference. It made me totally committed to getting my license, becoming an agent and really doing this. Plus, the class is REALLY FUN. Not only are you learning, but the instructor, Rico, is so supportive, motivating, encouraging, helpful, knowledgeable — and funny. The other classmates were great, too — I can’t recommend this class enough. It’s a really great environment to get you excited about being an agent and really understand what you’re about to embark on.

The best of the best! Supporting and encouraging every step of the way even once you have pass your state exam. I would recommend them to everybody!

Great class that not only teaches real estate but more important Mr. Robert Rico (the instructor) motivates you to be a better realtor in this competitive profession.
I highly recommend this class to everyone who want to make a difference in their life!

I am not a big time Unilocaler nor am I someone who takes in-​person training classes when an online option is available. That is why I cannot bestow any higher praise than 5 stars to Jason Gervais .
Having an accomplished real estate broker teach this 2x per week course is more than any newbie real estate person can ask for. Not only will you get a synthesized understanding of the book materials, Jason also provides volumes of real world insights and first-​hand experiences. The classes are fun, move fast and are well worth the few hours per week out of your night time schedule.
Furthermore, if you are truly serious about having a career in Real Estate, Jason can even help make the right introductions with Keller Williams personnel to get you pointed in the right direction.
Seriously folks, what more can you ask for as you embark upon your journey into a new career?

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant of doing an in-​person course since I’ve discovered there are online classes available to fulfill the state requirements. I have also been through my share of test prep courses (GRE, LSAT, etc) and at some point or another I ended up better off abandoning the classes/​instructors and studying independently.
However, the course at LA Realty Training with Jason Gervais broke the cycle! Jason makes rocket science sound like the ABC’s! He is knowledgable, passionate, attentive, and inspiring.
Not only does he review the course material but he also provides extra insight, tips, and advice for entering the real estate industry. This is just as valuable as the course curriculum. As I make a MAJOR career change and enter the real estate industry as a newbie, its inspiring to receive helpful daily management tactics.
Every class session I feel more comfortable with the transition because of Jason’s helpful insights and his guidance through the curriculum.
I highly recommend LA Realty Training and Jason!

I was interested in getting my real estate license, and was debating between community college classes or online courses when I came across LA realty training on the internet. It was a pretty wise decision on my part! The class offer real life scenario as examples rather than dead textbook material, and its also a very fun and interactive class environment.
Our instructor, Jason, is also very helpful! He stays after class and reply all of our questions the best way he can. I think the material he taught us in class not only help with our real estate career but also in any other career that you choose to pursuit in.
The program also offer additional help to proceed with the state exam and also a great way to network and meet people in the real estate industry.
I highly recommend LA Real Training for getting your real estate license!

I cannot say enough for LA Realty Training and Jason Gervais, who makes the frankly tedious material almost interesting, or at least painless.
My background is academia. After studying English and philosophy at Yale, I received the Humanities Predoctoral Fellowship at UCSB for an MA/​PhD. It’s hard to get hot and bothered about easements, variances, mortgage lenders, escrow, and 1031 tax exemptions. This isn’t Milton, Wordsworth, Kant, Eliot or James. It’s not even an interesting minor Restoration poet like Katherine Philips (who wrote in the metaphysical vein of John Donne).
«Real Estate Principles» is essentially a 550 page extended glossary with lucid definitions you need to know for the CA real estate exam. There’s nothing complex or difficult about these definitions (and much is intuitive and commonsensical: lessor/​lessee, grantor/​grantee), but it is a lot of material.
The advantage of the class, apart from Jason’s effervescent personality, positive/​upbeat attitude, and passion for real estate, is that you discover which parts of the chapters are most important.
(And if you’re a bit of a cynic and curmudgeon – or hard-​ass – like me, you won’t find his positivity cloying or irritating: he’s a really good guy who loves teaching and practices real estate with the purest of intentions and ethical standards.)
The class is a time-​saver. I could read the three books, taught in one-​month blocks, at home and pass the test – it’s hardly the Bar exam – but it would be tedious at best. And it would require triple the study time.
The class flies by and since I type like a court reporter, I just bring my MacBook and essentially transcribe the 100 minute classes. The class starts at 7PM sharp and we were out no later than 8:45PM and sometimes at 8:30PM.
This particular KW office on Ocean Park is convenient and if you arrive by 6:45PM, you can park on the street. If not, you can park in the garage at no charge.
The classroom is immaculate and comfortable. Occasionally, the a/​c is marginal but it’s October now, so this won’t be an issue for at least nine more months. And I am flat out in love with the white leather Herman Miller-​like chairs. They may be Herman Miller for all I know, though I am not expert on high-​end office furniture. I’m not sure if Steelcase makes leather furniture, but these are as comfortable as the Steelcase chair I bought in 1998 for 600 (down from 1000) and still have in my rental.
Students are friendly and uncompetitive. I think the group in class with me would have been pleasant no matter who was teaching, but Jason creates a remarkably fun atmosphere to discuss what are, again, hardly thrilling intellectual concepts. It’s hardly right even to call them concepts; they’re more definitions and rules. «Real Estate Principles» is terminological, not conceptual. But there are a slew of rules and regulations, most of them to protect consumers.
The logic of licensing is this: a mind-​boggling amount of money passes through hands of people without extensive professional training (J.D.s, M.D.s, M.B.A.s or PhDs) and the potential for fraud is therefore high because in those professions, there is an implicit check on unethical behavior.
Obviously, bar and medical associations police their members, but those people have gone through years of difficult hoops to get where they are. This thins the herd to some extent, though malpractice and fraud happen more than anyone would like in those professions.
The California BRE exists to prevent fraud. This is both good and necessary because a real estate license is far cheaper and easier to obtain than any graduate (or undergraduate) degree (two nights a week over three months).
This will be the best $ 379 dollars you ever spend. Also, you may meet some people with whom you stay in touch as you enter your new career, whether as a full-​time broker at a house or a sometime consultant.
I took this class because as a resident of LA, NYC and SB, I plan to become a referral agent (from the city to LA and SB). One must have a license to get the referral fee (typically 25% but occasionally more). I give advice and look for places now for free. I might as well get paid for it.
Whatever your motivations or plans in real estate, LA Realty Training is the course to take.
You save time and lessen boredom by attending class instead of studying online or at home.
LA Realty offers this course through many KW offices, but as a former teacher myself (English and writing TA at UCSB for three years), I highly recommend Jason. And I feel lucky that he was teaching at the location closest to the Palisades, where I live part-​time.
