Industry Updates

Not finding what you’re looking for?
If you run a real estate school or brokerage, you’ve seen how quickly the industry has shifted toward online learning. Students want flexible, accessible courses, and regulators demand strict compliance–making the choice of a real estate learning management system (LMS) more important than ever. The problem is, not every platform is built for real estate. Plenty of systems look sleek on the surface but fall short where it counts: tracking both prelicensing and continuing education (CE) credits, staying aligned with state requirements, and equipping instructors with the right tools to deliver engaging, effective courses.
That’s why it pays to focus on what matters most. The best online real estate school platforms aren’t about flashy extras; they’re about features that ensure compliance, simplify instruction, and create a better learning experience for students. That’s exactly why so many schools and brokerages turn to Recampus, a trusted real estate training software built specifically for the industry.
An LMS is software that helps schools and organizations deliver courses online. Think of it as the hub where everything happens–students log in to access lessons, instructors track progress, and administrators make sure classes run smoothly.
In real estate, though, the role of an LMS goes beyond simply posting videos or grading quizzes. A strong real estate LMS has to:
Deliver prelicensing, post-licensing, and CE courses in ways that work for busy students
Track every student’s progress accurately so no one slips through the cracks
Generate reports that keep schools and brokerages aligned with strict state compliance requirements
Support instructors with tools that make teaching easier and more engaging
Generic learning platforms can cover the basics, but real estate education brings its own challenges. Regulations vary from state to state, reporting deadlines are non-negotiable, and schools need confidence that their LMS won’t miss a beat. That’s why choosing an LMS built specifically for this industry isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential.
When you’re comparing real estate LMS platforms, here are the features that matter most:
Compliance and Accreditation Tools: Real estate education has strict rules. The best platforms help you stay aligned with state licensing requirements so you’re never scrambling to meet deadlines.
Flexible Content Delivery: A strong system supports different learning styles, whether that means live virtual classes, on-demand self-paced modules, or a hybrid mix of both.
Ease of Use: If the software feels clunky, students check out, and instructors get frustrated. A good real estate LMS should feel intuitive from the first login.
Tracking and Reporting: Real-time dashboards make it easy to see who’s on track, who needs extra support, and whether CE credits or prelicensing hours are being properly recorded.
Room to Grow: Scalability matters. As your real estate school or brokerage expands, your LMS should be able to handle more students, more courses, and more instructors without missing a beat.
Dedicated Support and Reliability: Having responsive customer support and a system you can count on is just as important as fancy features. Schools and brokerages need an LMS that minimizes downtime and gives them help when they need it.
Taking your real estate school online shouldn’t mean settling for a platform that doesn’t understand your industry. That’s where Recampus, Dearborn’s online real estate school platform, really shines. It gives schools a single space to teach, track, and manage every part of their online education, while keeping things simple for both administrators and learners.
Here’s what makes Recampus such a dependable choice for real estate education:
Everything in One Place: Courses, exams, reporting, and even the bookstore all live under one roof. Students can register, learn, and complete their programs without jumping between systems.
Built for How People Actually Learn: The platform is mobile-friendly and accessible anywhere, so busy students can move through their courses on their schedule.
Keep Your School’s Name Front and Center: With co-branded and custom school branding options, your site looks and feels like an extension of your own brand–not someone else’s.
Regulatory Support You Can Count On: From filing documentation to state compliance, Recampus was designed with real estate’s unique requirements in mind.

Recampus was never meant to be a one-size-fits-all solution–it was designed to do one thing exceptionally well: power real estate education. It gives schools the structure, branding, and support they need to grow confidently online, all backed by Dearborn’s decades of industry experience.
Independent schools that want to expand into online learning without building a new system from scratch.
Large institutions managing hundreds of students who need consistent, branded experiences and dependable reporting.

Real estate education is evolving fast, and success now depends on more than offering online courses. Schools and brokerages need a learning experience that grows enrollment, strengthens student engagement, and frees instructors to focus on teaching instead of administration.
A great real estate LMS turns everyday operations into opportunities. When you can easily view completion data, see where learners thrive, and identify where they need more support, your platform becomes part of your strategy for long-term growth.
That’s what Dearnborn’s Recampus delivers. It brings clarity to how you manage your programs and helps you turn insight into action. From course management to student experience, it gives you the tools to evolve alongside your learners–not just keep up with them.
