Compare real estate courses head to head
Six pairings across the four national providers we could verify. Two of them are not a real choice — see the note below — but we cover them anyway so you know why.
Not close. Colibri wins on coverage, price and guarantee.
→Only relevant in Aceable's 17 states — there, it's a real trade-off.
→Nearly identical outcomes; the difference is what we could verify.
→Format flexibility against price and pass-rate data.
→Full verification against a materially better pass rate.
→The largest pass-rate gap of any pairing here.
→A note before you pick a pairing
State coverage decides most of this before price or pass rate matters. AceableAgent covers 17 states, Kaplan about 37, Colibri 41 — check whether a provider is even available where you are licensing before comparing anything else about it.
Common questions
Why only four providers?
These are the four national providers we could substantively verify — real pricing, state coverage and regulator-published pass rates, where available. Smaller regional schools exist but are outside what we can independently check.
Which comparison should I read first?
Whichever pairing includes the two providers actually available in your state. Check each provider’s own state list before reading a comparison you cannot act on.
Do you rank all four somewhere?
Yes — see best real estate courses for the full ranking against regulator-published pass-rate data.
