Seacoast Realty school thoroughly prepared me to pass the National exam and begin my Real Estate career. My instructor, Gabriela Clontz, went above and beyond to provide personal attention and incredible advice. I highly recommend!
Allison Thomas
I just completed the pre-licensing course at Sea Coast RE Academy and I can honestly say that my experience was so much better than I ever expected. My teacher, Gabby Clontz, made my life changing decision to pursure real estate a really positive one. She gave us everything we needed to pass the exam and went above and beyond to make sure we understood the tremendous amount of information being thrown at us in such a short period of time. She offered tutoring in her own spare time, was always available after class to work with us one on one and made sure we knew exactly what to expect come exam time. She made what most people might consider a terrifying, intimidating experience, super comfortable as well as a lot of fun. I'm beyond excited to have passed the exam, but will miss that class at the same time. Not only did I learn an incredible amount of info regarding real estate, but I also learned a lot about myself. I made some great new friends who I know I'll continue to keep in contact with, one of which is Gabby. Thanks for a great experience Sea Coast!

Joshua Sedbrook
Education and preparation is the key to success in every career. Sea Coast Academy provides the essential foundation for taking the NC Real Estate exam and created a collaborative environment where the students also challenged each other to achieve a deeper knowledge of the material. After taking the Sea Coast Academy final exam my confidence was high and made the NC State Exam seem easy! That's when I realized just how much I benefited from choosing the "right" place to start my Real Estate Career.PS Passed the first time and finished fast!

A great class to participate in if your career choice is real estate! I just graduated from the weekend class...everyone is very friendly and eager to help you succeed, they give you plenty of information regarding the market and education, and Gabriela was a fantastic instructor. I would definitely recommend this to friends, family, and anyone interested in succeeding in a very competitive industry.
Justin Ventura
I have enjoyed my educational experiences with Sea Coast immensely. The instructors were knowledgeable and really cared about the students. I have taken pre-licensing and post-licensing courses at the academy and have always walked away confident in my newfound knowledge. The instructors were readily available for additional assistance and worked as hard as their students. I would highly recommend Sea Coast for all your real estate educational needs.

I just finished my pre-licensing class today, and I have to say it was a great experience. I learned so much, and I did very well on the test. Gabriela Klontz was the instructor, and she was amazing. She really helped prepare us for the test. I will definitely return to Seacoast for post-licensing.

Derek Davis
What's up Nate! And all my other classmates in the jan 2017 class. I must say Gabriella is an awesome teacher. If you want to pass the class your first try you have to take it Gabriella, she is awesome. She does a great job at presenting the material, explaining the hard to grasp concepts, and takes the time with everyone to make sure he/she understands the information. You can really tell she cares about being a real estate instructor and wants each and every one of her students to pass the first time. If you are in the Wilmington and wanting to take the prelicensing class sign up with Gabriella, she'll get through it.

I am quite satisfied with the recent pre-licensing class I just completed with Gabriela. Although overwhelming, Gabriela was phenomenal at mining out the key phrases and important theories for each topic we were studying so that we would understand them forwards and backwards. Which was essential come test time. She made the class enjoyable through the mundane. Her real world knowledge was very helpful. Her teaching style was exemplary. She made a terrifying experience enjoyable.
Nathan Graff
I'm so glad that I took my pre-licensing class through Sea Coast Real Estate Academy. Gabriela was a wonderful instructor! She was able to explain complex material in easier to understand terms and really helped prepare us for the exams.

Tom B
Took my pre-licensing course here and had an amazing experience! The teacher was extremely knowledgeable and really listened to all our questions. They were very accommodating when it came to rescheduling classes because of the hurricane (Irma) and took into account all of our needs and life outside the classroom. I highly recommend Sea Coast Real Estate Academy if anyone is thinking about getting their real estate license!
Michelle Kay
I had a great experience taking my Real Estate classes here! I was working full time and going to school 3 nights a week for 3+ hours. Needless to say it wasn't easy! However, with the encouragement from our instructor and from other classmates in the same situation, it helped tremendously. Our instructor also empathized with our situation and would spice things up when our fried brains couldn't think! When I took the class test, I felt very prepared & knew exactly what I needed to study-I PASSED! And I also passed the State test on the first attempt!
April Swafford
Sea Coast Academy is the only place to go for your NC pre-brokerage training if you want in-depth instruction by very qualified and engaging educators. It had been 20 years since I was in a classroom environment but my instructor Gabriella made me feel very comfortable in learning the material and did so in an engaging way that made the material not seem so foreign. Sea Coast Academy has a tried and true system to make sure I was prepared to pass my boards as I did my very first try. Thank you Gabriella and Brian for providing such a great service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to become a NC real estate broker and for any post licensing education.

Great course. Our instructor, Ann Hughes, was wonderful - she truly cared about us and made the class fun. It is a very intense few weeks of instruction, but her knowledge of the material and way of teaching helped me pass both the class test and NC exam. I would recommend Sea Coast Real Estate Academy to anyone looking to get into real estate.

She was an outstanding teacher who kept us engaged and motivated through a lot of material. I feel prepared to be a successful broker and look forward to continuing my education at Sea Coast Real Estate Academy with Gabriela.
Beth Ann Scisco
I recently completed the pre licensing course and would recommend Sea Coast to anyone who is considering taking the class. The facilities were well equipped, clean, and conveniently located. The instructor, Gabriela, was friendly, knew the material very well, and enjoyed teaching. The text book was large and a little overwhelming at first, however, she helped the class to focus on what was important to learn and necessary to pass the exams.
Shelley L
Took pre-licensure class in Jacksonville, NC and it was a great experience. Hurricane Florence caused a few weekend classes to be cancelled but the instructor was very accommodating to ensure each student received all the class material to complete the course. Will definitely take more courses from this real estate school.
Kerry Quinn
Wendi Claw
It's a tremendous amount of info crammed into 6 weeks, but Gabriela Clontz & Sea Coast have got you covered! Attention to detail & to students on an individual basis if it's needed. I couldn't have been more pleased; will absolutely recommend this company & Gabriela.

I recently completed the pre licensing course and highly recommend this school. We were given great highlights and areas to focus on while studying. Our teacher, Gabriela, was very good at explaining the material and focused on key terms. She also made sure we understood the process, and not just test material. We were thoroughly informed of the steps we needed to take for things like our background checks etc. After completing this course I was prepared and informed about who to contact to schedule state exams and what would be required of me moving forward. I will certainly use Sea Coast for my CE classes.

Cindy Toler
Taking a real estate night class between Thanksgiving and Christmas is quite stressful, but Gabriela Clontz and the SeaCoast Real Estate Academy made learning enjoyable and efficient. I felt very prepared for the written exam at the end of class and was very confident going to take the computerized Commission exam. Gabriela has a beautiful, witty personality (and patience) which makes the night classes fast-paced and enjoyable. She gave us great outline notes, class quizzes, and a lot of math help, all of which prepared us nicely for passing the exams. I will return to SeaCoast Real Estate Academy for future educational opportunities, and I am looking forward to Gabriela Clontz being an instructor for post licensing, as I learned quite well from her bank of knowledge.
