I couldn't have been more pleased with the pre-licensing course. Kelly Allen is a master at instructing. She presents information in fun and creative ways to make the challenging content interesting and retainable. The resources provided by Kelly and the Learn Test Pass content was invaluable to the successful completion of the course. I recommend Cumbie & Trull School of Real Estate to anyone and everyone who is interested in fulfilling their North Carolina pre-licensing requirements.

Kelly was my instructor, and I cannot say enough good things about her! While the material is not always fun and interesting, she made the course into a time I will not forget because of her fun personality. She treated everyone in our class with the same amount of support and respect, regardless of age or experience. If you're considering a real estate school I would look no further!

“I recently completed all three postlicensing classes at Cumbie & Trull. I had to take them online because of the pandemic. Regardless, the classes were very informative, the instructors were knowledgeable, engaging, and led real-world discussions, and the students had opportunities to chat and network. I also took my broker license class there as well. I highly recommend.”
— Ann Smith 

“Class was via Zoom and it went seamlessly. Content was good and presentation stellar. A sense of humor by both presenters helped make the information easier to retain.” — Bonnie Carlin 

“This was my first live class through a remote classroom session. I was impressed with how easy the check-in was and in addition the class went off without a hitch. Cumbie & Trull people are always professional and a pleasure to work with.” — Karen Rose
