The Real Estate Training Institute is responsible for training and certifying many of Mississippi's leading agents. Founded on an effective curriculum developed by Dr. Larry Hasbrouck, RETI has become the fastest growing training source for new agents all over the state of Mississippi. From Sales Pre and Post-Licensing to Broker and Continuing Education courses, RETI offers a complete solution for an agent's training needs.

Dr. Hasbrouck founded RETI to serve as the state's premier training institution for prospective real estate agents. His unmatched commitment to the success of its students is, first and foremost, a fact borne out by the highly complimentary assessments his students give at the end of each course. More importantly, the pass rates of his students are among the highest of any similar program in the country.

Q: I'm told that Mississippi offers pre-license training online. I also see that you do not recommend on online pre-licensing course. Do classroom students have a higher pass rate than online students in passing the agent exam?
Answered 07/19/06 20:49:02 by Lawrence Hasbrouck
A: We do not have access to that information. However, we have previous on-line students in each of our classes who have failed the State examination . Others were not satisfied that they recieved enough training from the on-line courses. We believe the interaction with the various instructors and other students in the classroom prepares you better for the exam. The choice is up to the individual.
