Why RealEstateExpress is #1
Let's face it. The secret to passing the Alabama Real Estate License exam is not knowing the most information, but knowing the right information. Sure, you could eventually find what you need in textbooks, but who has time to wade through all those pages? RealEstateExpress will provide you with our 419 page E-Book which you will be able to download and print by section of the course or all at once if you choose. So, unless you have an inordinate amount of free time in your life, the secret is in knowing exactly what is most important to the regulators, and what you must know to pass the exam.

Over the past two decades, we've become expert at knowing the information you need to pass the Alabama Real Estate License exam, and giving it back to our students in ways that they can easily remember and retain - both for the test, as well as their real estate practice. And now, all of that wisdom is available online, through the RealEstateExpress.com Internet Alabama Real Estate Pre License course.

Here's How it Works
The complete Alabama Real Estate Pre Licensing Course from RealEstateExpress.com provides you everything you need to learn and understand the latest of both National and your own state-specific information. You will be able to start and stop the program and return to where you leave off any time you wish. While we recommend that you plan to work for 50 minutes at a time, many students report that they can go faster, and learn more than in the classroom, using Internet-based training systems. PLUS, included in this low price is the RealEstateExpress E-Book that you will be able to read, study and download at your convenience.

You go online and learn the sections at your own pace, whenever it's convenient for you. You must go through all the screens in each section to complete the course. At the end of each section you will be required to take and pass 50-question exam, and pass with a score of 80% before being allowed to go on to the next section of the course. But don't worry. The system is almost foolproof. And if you should score less than 80%, we'll give you another test, and the tools you need to pass.

Don't put it off any Longer!
