We're working on a new curriculum featuring live, in-person classes!

In-person learning coming soon

We're working on a new curriculum utilizing in-person instruction. Help us design the class to fit your needs and schedule.
Solid, relevant, engaging

The North Dakota School of Real Estate was founded solely to give candidates for licensure the most solid, relevant and engaging education possible. We are real estate professionals who’ve seen the ups and downs of the market, and also witnessed what happens when agents are unprepared for the unpredictability of the marketplace.

This is serious business

The real estate business isn’t just opening a door and writing offers; in many instances, a licensee is involved with a family’s single biggest investment. Both buyers and owners will entrust this process to you and they deserve the most skilled, best-equipped expert in the marketplace.

Brand new curriculum. Same renowned instruction.

We’re out of the pandemic. It’s time to get back to what we do best: in-person instruction!

The Real estate industry is no place for amateurs

You need and deserve top-notch instruction

Here's a note from one of our graduates; we can't thank him enough: "I have to tell you that honestly you were one of the best instructors, if not THE best instructor, I have had in many years and many classes. You kept the class interesting with real life examples mixed with jokes appropriately mixed in. It wasn't just someone reading off of slides which will put a person to sleep real fast. I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into preparing and organizing the class. Giving up two straight weekends to take a class is typically not fun but I truly enjoyed it."

Help us design a curriculum that fits your needs and schedule

From our students...

We don't have to boast; our students do that for us

Give us your opinion

As you know, North Dakota requires candidates for a real estate license complete a 90-hour course before they are eligible for licensure. We are considering a new instruction model that will be entirely in-person, in either Fargo or Bismarck-Mandan. We’d like your opinion on how exactly to structure that course. When we founded this school, law required only 45 hours of instruction. We accomplished that over the course of two consecutive three-day weekends. (Six eight-hour days of instruction.) We’re no longer hindered by the eight-hour-a-day limit, which means we can schedule ten or more hours a day to complete the 90-hour requirement. If you were able to design the instruction model to fit your needs and schedule, how would you do it? A. Nine ten-hour days split over three consecutive weekends? B. Nine ten-hour days broken into a three-day weekend every month for three months? C. Nine consecutive ten-hour days? (Give us a little more than a week of your time.) D. Some other schedule we haven’t considered. Please give us your honest opinion. We want to return to in-person instruction, to what we do best, but we want to consider all options before we set our schedule in stone. Thanks
