This recommendation is for Garry, one of the Property and Casualty Insurance Broker Pre-Licensing course instructors. He kept class interesting and fun and almost my whole class passed the exam the first time. He really seemed to care about his students and their comprehension of the material as opposed to just drilling the correct answers into us.

At the time of writing this, I am about 75% done with my classes at REEDC and I am having such a great time that I felt compelled to write a review.
The instructor is very knowledgeable, funny and engaging. When you are there, you genuinely follow the material because it is taught so well.

I have just finished my course and exam here. I cannot say enough about this wonderful place! There is a great concern and devotion on the part of everyone there that your experience is positive and you are happy with your learning. Most impressive was the incredible effort put towards job placement, recruiting, and real world networking.

The Property Casualty Insurance course was taught by Garry Smalley, a great instructor who engaged the class and made the whole experience worthwhile. Believe it or not, I remember laughing a few times in the class from some of the stories. I just got my license today! Passed on my first try, the course was more then enough if you are willing to study 1-2 hours a few nights a week

Just finished two weeks of classes, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The teacher, Greg is very impressive, having been in the field, and is a wealth of knowledge. He always has time to answer my many questions. I live in Brooklyn, and work in Manhattan, and if I don’t feel like coming into NY on weekends, I can go to their Brooklyn office, which works out well for me.

Continuing Education Requirements
New York requires all licensed real estate salespersons and brokers to complete 22.5 hours of continuing education every two years to renew their license. The Rental Crash Course is approved for 3.75 of those hours, so it’s a practical way to build rental skills while working toward your renewal. To earn credit for this course, you’ll need to:
- Be a currently licensed New York real estate salesperson or broker
- Register for an available Rental Crash Course session
- Attend the full 3.75-hour live session via Zoom (New York requires complete attendance for CE credit)
- Keep your certificate of completion as proof of your hours
How You'll Earn Your Credits
Continuing education courses don’t have a state exam — there’s no test to pass. To receive your 3.75 credits, you simply attend the full live Zoom session from start to finish, since New York bases CE credit on complete attendance rather than an exam. Once you’ve finished the class, you’ll receive a certificate of completion as proof of your hours for when you renew through your eAccessNY account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Rental Crash Course for?
It’s designed for real estate agents who want to start earning income from rentals, whether you’re new to the business or looking to add rentals to your existing practice. The course starts with the basics, so no prior rental experience is needed. It’s also a great fit for licensees who want practical skills that count toward their renewal.
Does this course count toward my continuing education?
Yes. The Rental Crash Course is approved for 3.75 New York continuing education credits; a third of the 22.5 hours licensees need every two years. You’ll build real-world rental skills and work toward your license renewal at the same time, rather than treating CE as just a box to check.
How long is the course, and how is it delivered?
The course runs 3.75 hours in a single live session, held over Zoom from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on scheduled dates. Because it’s live and interactive, you can ask questions in real time, including during a dedicated Q&A with the instructor.
Is there an exam?
No. Like all continuing education courses, there’s no test to pass — you earn your 3.75 credits by attending the full live session. Once you’ve completed the class, you’ll receive a certificate of completion to keep as proof of your hours.
