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.

Great course, Gabriela is a wonderful instructor! I came away well prepared for both the state and national exams as well as having a thorough understanding of real estate in North Carolina.

I just finished my prelicensing course with Gabby. She is an amazing instructor. I felt confident in the material and passed my test! Seacoast is a great school with wonderful people, and a beautiful building. Brian, the owner, is very welcoming and even hands out candy!! I appreciated all of the encouragement and positivity here. I will definitely be back for my post licensing courses!
Jordyn Zimmerman
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!
Tom O'Laughlin
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.
Dan Barentine
My wife and I both took the pre-licensing course here and it was a great experience. I highly recommend Gabriela Clontz as an instructor. She's knowledgeable, friendly, professional and taught us what we needed to know to pass this difficult class!

Regulations and expectations were laid out clearly. Material was covered thoroughly with plenty of study guides. I would recommend this school and teacher to anyone needing to take their real estate license exam. I will be returning for post licensing classes.
Derek Davis
Well taught class, and the instructor even followed up after the course with answers to any questions that were not covered by the material. Highly recommend.
Corey Bullock
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.
Catherine Lea
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.
Adonna Pipkin
Class was full on but Gaby did an amazing job of explaining all the topics . I would recommend Gaby and Sea coast academy to anyone
Guia Baselli
I took the pre-licensing course at SeaCoast Real Estate Academy with Gabriela. The amount of material was overwhelming, but Gabriela got us through every bit of it, and was great at stressing the most important aspects. I passed the in-class exam, and both the national and state portions of the licenising exam on my first try! I would and will definitely recommend SeaCoast Real Estate Academy and Gabriela Clontz.
Katie SZ
Gabriela Clontz did a great job keeping the class engaged and was very knowledgeable on all of the material. She always had answers to the questions the class had or knew exactly where to go to get them. The location was very convenient and the staff was excellent. I'd recommend Sea Coast and especially Gabriela to anybody.
Erica Parker
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
I just finished and passed the pre- licensing course at Sea Coast Realty and I highly recommend it! I was very nervous about completing and passing, but Gabriela Clontz was an amazing instructor, who throughly went over the material necessary to accomplish the course successfully!

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.

Very comfortable learning atmosphere at Sea Coast Academy. Gabrielas teaching format appeals to every type of learner. Smooth sailing baby!
Sandra Chisholm
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
I had such an amazing experience! I had Alison Keller as an instructor and she is AMAZING! She makes the class interesting with her own anecdotes, but also makes sure that you are learning the material. She definitely made me feel prepared to pass the class and the real estate test. I’d recommend Sea Coast Advantage and Alison to any one looking to get their license.

I recently completed the Pre-licensing Course taught by Alison Keller. The experience was a good one. Relevant instruction and prepared me well for passing both the class and NC State exam 10 days later. I would recommend Sea Coast Real Estate School to anyone seeking a good experience.
Keith Eades
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!
Christy Stewart
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
It is always a pleasure when I take a class with Sea Coast Real Estate Academy. Whether it’s post licensing, continuing education, or any other real estate class, you know you’re always dealing with personable professionals. Donna Chase is dedicated to this job and it shines through to her students each day. She is knowledgeable, approachable and always shoots it straight. Brian Moxey is as accommodating as can be and does everything he can to ensure 100% satisfaction. This is truly one above the rest. You will always walk away more educated and more confident as a Broker..... and not to mention much more of a network.
Adam Serrano
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.
Danita Ensley
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 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.

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.
