Is Real Estate Express a reputable online school for RE classes?
I'm currently researching online real estate schools that would prepare me for the California RE Sales Agent exam. As such, I'm trying to figure out which schools are reputable and approved by the CA BRE.
Real Estate Express is one online school that I found via online searching. Has anyone taken classes with this company? If so, what were your experiences? Do they offer textbooks as well as e-books?
Also, I noticed that this company offers a Property Management elective, which I haven't seen elsewhere (and which is the primary reason for my interest in this specific real estate school). Has anyone taken a Property Management class with Real Estate Express or another RE school? What did you think - was it worth your time?
And will taking a Property Management class potentially increase my chances of landing a property management job? I'm guessing that upon completing the coursework and passing the final exam, my certificate will denote that I successfully completed this particular class, which I can then show to prospective employers.
Thanks in advance!

Just seeing this post but for anyone else wondering, I just passed my real estate license and used RE Express. My process saved tons of hours of time, and I recommend it for anyone looking to start working sooner than later. From what I was told nothing you learn while studying is applicable in the field (sound familiar?) What I did was click next on every single page without reading, take the quiz and either pass or fail and if you fail they give you the answers. Keep moving along chapters this way, then for the chapter exams I would do similar. You'll get your 3 certificates super fast doing this, and then as far as passing your exam, GO TO THE CLARE INSTITUTE! It's $175 for a 2 day crash course led by this amazing lady Kathleen who literally prepares you to pass the test. Do that, study a good amount prior with her practice exams and class material and you'll be golden.
