Why is that good for you? Many companies offer courses all over the United States and are not well versed in the nuances of getting licensed in California. You can be assured our staff, instructors, and authors know the confusing regulations of California well and we provide proper and up-to-date courses. Also, our in-house staff will answer any of your questions, and provide excellent service to you throughout the process.
We have been offering DRE Courses since they were started in 1978 and MLO courses since they started in 2009 and Notary courses since they were first offered in 2005. We were in on the ground floor of all these State and Federal Regulations and our registration and testing procedures are state of the art. DGE is family owned and operated with staff and instructors who have been with us for years.
All calls are answered by one of our live in-house staff members in Mission Viejo, CA. In the latest reviews they have been called personable, helpful, knowledgeable, amazing, awesome, thorough, patient, computer savvy, and so forth. All of them have passed State of California Exams. You will not hear, "Please listen closely as our menu has changed", because we do not have any menus. You will get a live person. Also, emails are answered quickly as Customer Service is important to us. You can count on our staff.
We offer the qualifying courses for these two licenses and an outstanding Exam Preparation Course. More important, our staff knows the nuances of the programs and licensing requirements. We can review college transcripts to see if any of your courses may qualify, and we can evaluate your experience or equivalent experience to see if you meet the two year requirement. We also offer a Pass Guarantee where your exam prep course fees will be refunded if you do not pass the State Exam in two tries. Our passing rates are excellent, and we have open phone lines for questions every step of the way. Our success is based on your success.
Because our education is offered as a correspondence course, you can read your materials online in a PDF (Portable Document Format) and test online. No waiting to answer a question before moving on and rereading when you answer the question incorrectly. Any questions about this email [email protected] or call (800) 439-4909. You will be glad that you did.
We make it easy and take out the confusion of trying to figure out which package to order and if it will meet the California Department of Real Estate Requirements for License Renewals. There are three categories of renewal, first time Salesperson, first time Broker, second and subsequent renewals. It mentions courses like Survey and Management/Supervision which some students can use for renewal and others cannot. They state that you must complete at least 18 hours of Consumer Protection Courses. It is not surprising that some people complete the wrong courses due to no fault of their own. Duane Gomer Education's renewal course satisfies the requirements of all licensees. Even those currently in inactive status. We make it easy.
One day a licensee called our office with a difficult question. After answering the query, I noted that he had not used our company for his renewal and had renewed with someone else. I asked him, "Why did you not call the company from where you purchased?" The caller answered, "Because they said they did not answer questions of that type and referred me to your company," I then asked, "Why did you use that company?” The caller responded "Because they were $10.00 cheaper."
DGE publishes a weekly email covering current topics and maintains a blog, Facebook and LinkedIn with informative posts. You will also get emails on new courses and a friendly reminder when your license is up for renewal. We work with many of the California Realtor Associations, Franchises, and Title Companies. And our staff answers calls with real estate related questions every day. Many clients have stated we are their first go to because we always know the answer. We are here for you.
How long will a course take to complete (your time has a price tag)? How valuable will this information be for your career? Will the course be time intensive and will I be frustrated by the procedures? Will I be able to get proper customer support? Have I talked to other people about Duane Gomer Education? Sometimes even a free course is not the most valuable for you.
It is my hope that we will see you soon as a student and our main goal will be to do such a superb job that you will return, like many of our current students who have been with us for many years. And to all my friends from over the many years of live seminars around our great state: Thank you for your support. See you at our next webinar or class.
Governor Gavin Newsom has appointed Chika Sunquist, Department of Real Estate Commissioner. Duane Gomer Education commends this appointment after working with her when she was in charge of Mortgage Loan Originator matters at DRE. Currently, she is Assistant Commissioner of Enforcement. She has been at DRE since 2006 and worked in many different important roles. Of note: Chika is a Hoya graduating from Georgetown University with a degree in Languages and Linguistics.
Also, Newsom appointed Tomiquia Moss, Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. This is the Agency that oversees the DRE.
Congratulations and Best Wishes to the New Leadership.

I signed up for the broker review Course with Duane Gomer. Both the written materials and the on line tests were perfect for my studying. I took the crash course on line as well and picked up great stuff for my test. I am proud to say I passed the first time. I was in line at the test site with others coming for a 2nd time but they did not use the same course. I did exactly what they suggested and found many of the same or similar questions on the test as was in practice. I highly recommend the course.
I signed up for the crash course because two Realtors recommended it to me. I went the day before the exam but I got the books two weeks before. I reviewed the materials with the books and did the text before going to the crash course... The class was really well structured. She went fast but making sure every term was clear and understood. She is just amazing, I can only say THANK YOU!!
I passed! Of course, I still studied after I attended the crash course, but I'm sure I passed because I attended the crash course prior to my exam. Great fast paced crash course. Gave me a good feel for what to really focus on for the exam. I attended the crash course and took the exam a week later. After I attended the crash course I reviewed the flash cards and practice test for each chapter (2 chapters per day). 2 days before my exam I reviewed all of the simulated tests.
Just started taking online real estate courses here. Seems like the school is pretty organized. Spoke to representatives Grace and Carol on separate occasions, they are very helpful! Carol gave me excellent advice about how to approach the course to save myself time and frustration.
Duane Gomer's training is AMAZING! He makes learning the material fun, entertaining, and educational. I have attended his 8 hour Continuing Education class 4 years in a row. The first two years I had Joffrey Long, and the most recent two years I had Duane himself. Both speakers are great, and I recommend them both.
Excellent service for over 16 years. Services are very affordable and I always learn so much when renewing my real estate license...along with Duane's sense of humor in the text books. And a Big Thank You to Emily! You are very helpful and knowledgable.
Completed another continuing education class with Duane Gomer today! I have used this company for all my continuing education over many years, and even though I have been a broker for over 20 years now, I always come away learning something new. Duane makes it entertaining, and informative, and that makes it an easy decision when faced with ongoing CE requirements. Thank you Duane for the knowledge without boredom
I like how I can always communicate with the book author and staffs. Always on top of everything! Thank you Mr. Duane Gomer for a very informative educational real estate continuing education. Your online classes are very clear and easy to understand.
Amazing! They provide you with textbooks, online material, practice exams and a crash course for you to take a couple day before your DRE exam. Their customer service is excellent! When you call them, make sure to ask for Aya, she's great! You won't find a better course at a better price than Duane Gomer :)
I just took my 8 hours renewal class for NMLS on Friday, July 13. Duane Gomer -- live and in color -- was the speaker. He was fantastic like the other teachers that have presented. It's all so informative, lively, and fun (yes, it's even fun). I love how the day flies by, I learn a ton and pass the test "open book" at the end. I meet a bunch of nice people. Registration was a breeze, but the class was even better. Tell your friends.
I took Duane Goner's Safe Act class with Howard Kirschner. It was refreshing to have an instructor with real world experience, patience, respect for his students and true character. Howard was able to inject real world examples into the course material which helped my learning. He also provided a ton of exam techniques to help remember the really dry material that we all know we won't be using other than to pass the test. I will have my "pencil" and will be laughing each time there is a question about Godzilla or dinosaur Rex! Thanks Howard and Duane for a great experience!
I can't recommend Duane Gomer's classes and study programs highly enough! I've been using his online classes and attending his seminars since 1999 for getting and then renewing my RE License. His knowledge and expertise are without rival. He's a walking Dictionary of information and his classes are always lively and interesting. In spite of my being a Top Producer in Listings & Sales in Residential & Land, I always learn new things whenever I've attended any of his classes. Looking for an "edge" in getting your License? Need to pass the exam on the first try? This is the place!
I have gone to several Duane Gomer trainings. They are the absolute best. I always learn a lot and he is so entertaining- the time flys. He covers the subject matter and also offers many pearls of wisdom along the way. Can't believe I actually look forward to required training.
