Online Real Estate Exam
Review Videos
offers the total system to help you pass your test!
Have you ever
watched a television commercial
and then heard the commercial on the radio?
When listening on the radio could you
"see the commercial" even though you weren't watching it?
For the first time, you can use that same method
to help you study for your real estate exam!

Especially helpful if English is
your second language.
Should I invest in the online review
or go to a cram course in the classroom?
Great question! Most cram courses provided by a school cost
anywhere from $59 to $159 for a one or two day class. You will
probably be in a classroom with many other students and
questions will limited. Many times the instructor does not
take any questions at all. You are instructed just to listen.
With the Online Real Estate Review Videos you can:
1. Watch at your convenience 24/7
2. Replay the video until you know the concept
3. Download the audio files of the videos and listen while
exercising,
walking the dog, driving, etc. (Your school will not let you tape
the cram session.)
4. Take the quizzes as many times as you want.
5. Email the instructor with questions.
Yes, you get all of the above plus more for
$45!

Will this
material help me prepare for the sales or broker exam?
When developing the materials I analyzed the content outlines of
the AMP, Experior,
PSI and Promissor testing services. Certain real estate concepts
are on every content outline. For
example, there will probably be a question about deeds on your
state exam.
Everything that is on the sales exam will be on the broker's
exam. The materials
will help you prepare for the the national portion of both the sales
and broker's exam.
Read the testimonials which were unsolicited.

How many videos are there?
There are 33 videos which total 4.75 hours of time.
They range from 6 to 15 minutes in length.
Watch the demo to see the format and to see how much you learn!
For example, after you watch the demo video I will bet that you
can tell me how many feet are in a chain! That information
will only be only the screen for about 3 seconds,
but you will
know because of the impact of seeing a picture of a chain while
hearing the length of the chain.
The videos were designed so that if you only have 10 to 20
minutes to study,
you could and learn!
Concentrate while watching! Focus on
the video and listen. If you can, listen with headphones.
It will help you focus and reinforce what you hear when
you listen
to the audio files.
By the time you watch the videos, take the quizzes, study the
Exam Strategy and Real Estate Math Made Easy, it is equivalent
to at least most classroom cram courses! However, you did
studied at your convenience and without the distractions of the
classroom! |
How do I download the audio files?
Downloading the audio files with a high speed internet
connection is usually fast!
There are many software programs that allow you to burn the files to
a CD or
download to your iPod.
I provide instructions for burning a CD with a Windows
Media 11 player. (Free download from Microsoft.) It
will take four CDs if you burn all the files to a CDs.
You can select which files you want to download.
Depending on your skills and internet speed, you will spend at
least an
hour downloading and burning to CDs.
|
Can I buy the audio files already
burned to a CD?
Yes, the fee is $30 plus shipping and handling.
Buy Now!
|
Can I buy just the audio files only?
Yes, the fee is $30 plus shipping and handling.
I do not recommend buying just the audio files. Some of the
information will not make any sense because you will need to see
the video to go with the audio file.
For example, if you only heard the soundtrack from Grey's
Anatomy and did not watch the show, you would lose something.
If you only purchase the audio files, you will lose the impact of
seeing and hearing
to learn the material.

I am not good at math. Will this help
me with real estate math?
Yes! Yes! Yes! I love teaching real estate
math!
So, I wrote Real Estate Math Made Easy
as if I were a private tutor talking to you!
There is nothing more frustrating than knowing that math is not
your best subject and the only math book available to help you
is 200 pages!
Real Estate Math Made Easy is a 40
page booklet that covers commission math, computing property
taxes, finance math, appraising math, settlement math and area
math. There are 28 questions with detailed step-by-step answers.
These are the formulas that will more than likely be on your
exam and that you will use in your real estate career!
If you are of average intelligence and you think math is hard, I
ask you this question.
Did you ever have a math teach that was excited about math?
Usually the answer is no. Real Estate Math can be
easy...if you know the formulas and follow the rules!
|
Do you use
the "T" method to teach the math formulas?
Yes! Fortunately, when I was in school I had math teachers that were excited
about math. When I took the pre-license real estate
classes I worked the math questions
"my way" even though the
instructor was using the "T" method. My way worked,
so I saw no need to learn something different.
When I decided to teach real estate, the school said you
have to teach the "T" method
to teach the math. So,
instructor sat with me and taught me the "T" method to work
real estate math questions. Immediately I saw how easy it really
was to teach those
who struggle with math! From that day forward, I
called it "The Magical T!"
When I have seen former students in the mall or restaurant, I
have been introduced as
"The instructor who made math easy with the Magical T!"
|
I find the "T" method of working real
estate math confusing! What do you suggest?
Anytime you learn something new it is confusing!
Think about it. The first time you rode a bike, drove a car,
played tennis or learned your multiplication tables...it was
confusing!
There are three stages to learning.
The first stage is "Concentrated Effort." This stage
of learning takes work! Remember,
it is called homework...not home play. Most of us aren't
in the one percent of the
SAT or ACT scores. So, that means we study! We read, we
answer questions, we memorize vocabulary words.
The second stage is "Semi-Automatic." In this stage of
learning we have
grasped the basic concepts, but we still have to think about it
retrieve the information. Do you remember learning your
multiplication tables? How many worksheets did you
complete? Did you use flashcards to study?
How many hours did you spend? At some point the teacher
would ask, "What is 9 x 9?" and you would go...uhhhhh...81.
At that point you were in the semi-automatic stage of learning.
(What are the five covenants of a general warranty deed? uhhhhhh..... )
The third stage is "Totally Automatic." If I
woke you up at 3 a.m. and asked
"What is 9 x 9?" you would say 81
without even thinking about it!
Instructors need to be in the third stage to teach
real estate.
Students only have to be in the second stage
of learning to pass the exam.
So, forgive me for this is long answer to your question. Read "Math
Made Easy"
with an open mind, just as I listened to the
instructor when I knew I had to learn something the "T" if I
wanted to teach.
The first 5 pages of the book are really simple. I promise
the questions get harder!
|
Can I buy just the Real Math Made Easy
book?
Yes, the book is $10 plus shipping and handling. You will
receive the Real Estate Exam Strategy booklet and the Relax Your
Way Thru the Real Estate Exam for FREE with your order.
Buy Real Estate Made Made Easy!

Do you have anything for test anxiety?
Yes! Test anxiety is real! Most of us get butterflies in
our stomach when it is time
to take a test. Stress is good
if it propels you to move forward and do your best.
Distress or test anxiety will cause you to sweat, increase your
heart rate and your
mind may "go blank."
This program provides two things to help you with test anxiety.
Number one is the Exam Strategy booklet which teaches you how to
analyze test a questions and other test taking tips. This book
provides the basics of how to study.
Number two is the Relax Your Way Thru the Real Estate Exam
Audio CD.
This method of relaxation was taught to me by Dr. Denis Waitley
who was the first psychologist to provide psychological
preparation to the Olympic athletics.
(Watch Dr. Waitley's talk about the Self-Fulfilling prophecy on
this free video.
You will be glad you did!)
Many people fall asleep before this 15 minute audio CD is over!
You can learn to manage your test anxiety. (Notice I did
not say eliminate.) The Exam Strategy booklet and audio CD
will help you learn to relax and stay focused during the exam.
|
How many questions are included?
The Online Real Estate Review package contains over 600
questions to help you prepare
for the real estate exam. The material reviews the national
portion of the exam. If you need state specific questions,
please click here.
The videos cover every aspect of real estate from Agency to
Zoning! The quiz after each subject is relatively easy because
it will test your knowledge of the real estate vocabulary.
Learning the vocabulary words is much easier when you watch the
videos!
There are three 80 question finals which are really hard!
I see myself as the coach saying "do 100 sit-ups" knowing that
when you go to the state exam, you will only have to do 50
sit-sups.
If you do not pass my finals it is okay; but you must understand
why you missed the questions that you missed. If you
understand why missed the questions,
you will probably pass your state exam.
|
Why did you say "probably pass your
state exam?" Don't you guarantee that I will pass?
The only guarantee in life is
opportunity.
Nobody knows what is going to be on your exam except the testing
service. Do you really believe those websites that say they have
the exam questions that will be on your test? And, if they
did would they sell them for $20? $40? $100? For those
that do offer a guarantee, read it carefully.
If you are looking for a
magic bullet because you haven't studied,
then I
ask you to take your exam seriously.
Real estate is profession and needs to be respected as such! Would you want to go to a
doctor, lawyer or CPA who studied just what they needed to know
to pass the exam? NO! Then, why would someone want
to list their property with you if all you did was study just
enough to pass the exam?
Buying a house is the biggest investment that most people make
in their lives.
Take
it seriously.
Your pre-license book is probably has the term "Real Estate
Principles" in the title.
The real estate principles are the
foundation of your career. If the foundation of a
house
has a structural problem, the rest of the house will never be right.
You will use what you learn in your real estate classes in the
"real world." Most states have a real estate newsletter
where the disciplinary actions are published. When you
read the disciplinary actions, the law that was broken was taught in the
pre-license class.
So, knowing this material is very important. Pass your exam,
then build on your
pre-license foundation. After you pass your test, learn sales and
marketing skills, how to do a comparative market analysis, list
a property, negotiate a contract and close.
The Online Real Estate Review provides more materials than any
other site.
The $45 investment is very reasonable for all that you receive.
|
How long do I have access to the
Online Real Estate Review materials?
The username and password that is issued is expires in ninety
days. If you need more time another set will be issued
without charge. That means you will have access to all the
materials until you pass.
|
Can I download the videos to my
computer?
Over 3,000 hours of time was spent in creating the Online Real
Estate Review materials.
You may download the audio files, but you will need to be online
to watch the videos and take the exams.
|
What are the system requirements?
You need to have high speed internet and a Flash 9 player, which
is a free download from
www.adobe.com.
If AOL is your ISP, you will need to logon to the internet
with AOL then minimize the browser. Logon on the internet
on an Internet Explorer browser and logon to the website.
Relax - Watch - Listen - Learn!
|
Do I need any other exam prep books or
software if I buy the Online Real Estate Review videos?
If I were studying for the real estate exam I would buy the
Online Real Estate Review materials and the Exam Prep book for
your testing service. (AMP, Experior, Promissor or PSI.)
Why? Because I would rather be over prepared than have to
take the test again!
See the July Specials for a great deal on a combination of the
videos and the exam prep book!
If I had to make a choice I would buy the videos. Why?
Because the videos are not a "flat medium." This
program combines the three modes of learning, which are visual,
auditory and kinesthetic. You can watch
the video until you know the material! You can download
the audio files and listen. You can take the quizzes!
The Exam Strategy booklet will
help you analyze the test questions: the Math Made Easy will
help you with the basic math; and the Relax Your Way Thru the
Real Estate Exam will help with test anxiety.

Subject:
RE:
Ron passed Illinois Broker Exam!
THANKS!
Joyce...I'm most
appreciative. Even more, I'm most impressed with
your warmth and caring approach, both when we spoke
on the phone and especially with your personal note
in the video regarding fair housing and being "post
discrimination." As a Jew who was active in the
civil rights movement of the 60's and a social
worker with 40 years experience (now embarking in a
new career and facing age discrimination), I wish
more people shared your values.
