*****
"I attended the 63 hour pre-licensing course at this location. The class was a manageable size and I was welcomed immediately. I had taken the same course at another location the year prior, but it did not compare. At Metro Academy, I was able to comprehend the content, and everything was so well presented it left very few questions. There were clear instructions from start to finish about everything from how to obtain your license and what the next steps were. Younes is the broker and taught the class himself. You can tell he is very passionate about real estate and extremely knowledgable from his years of experience. I left the class confident I could pass the state exam, and on the first attempt I passed and I am now licensed! I owe my successful start to Metro Academy and the staff!"

Metro Academy of Real Estate is a top notch program and really helped me get my career started in the right direction. The class size and one on one instruction from Younes helped me pass the license exam on the first try. The class content and his dedication to helping students was a knowledgeable experience. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to further their career in real estate.
