About

In the evolving field of real estate education, the Tampa School of Real Estate (TSRE) shines as a leader, offering students transformative learning experiences. Founded in 2007 by Craig Carissimo and his son Jon, TSRE was created with a mission to go beyond just being a required class. Their goal: to empower students with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in real estate.

A Journey of Growth and Support

Imagine stepping into a real estate office in 2007, where just three determined students sat before Craig in a small training room in the back of a real estate office, ready to embark on a life-changing path. This humble beginning marked the start of a journey that would see TSRE grow into Florida's highest-rated real estate school. Whether it’s acing the state exam or launching a successful real estate career, TSRE is committed to guiding its students every step of the way.

Harnessing Innovation for Learning

TSRE's commitment to excellence is reflected in its innovative tools. With the launch of the LEARN portal in 2016, students gained anytime, anywhere access to essential materials. The Question Simulator was launched later that year, a powerful tool designed to enhance students’ understanding before exam day.

Game-Changing Developments

In 2017, the MP3 Online Audio Review and Exam Cram Videos were launched as flexible, on-the-go resources for students to deepen their understanding. Yet, it was in 2022 that TSRE marked a pivotal moment in its history with the introduction of the Video-On-Demand 63-Hour Pre-Licensing Course. This groundbreaking program transformed learning by allowing students to tailor their education to their individual schedules. Offering short, easy-to-follow videos, the course quickly became TSRE's best-selling program, setting a new standard for flexibility and accessibility in real estate education.

Expanding Horizons

The video on demand course was celebrated as a significant leap forward, demonstrating TSRE's commitment to enhancing student experiences. It brought the classroom to students' fingertips, enabling them to balance their education with their lives seamlessly. Later in 2022, TSRE launched the Video-On-Demand 45-Hour Post Licensing Course, offering the same flexibility but now with the student-favorite 45-hour post licensing curriculum. This course focuses on business planning and growth, contrasting with the initial focus on the laws and rules needed to pass the state exam. This milestone was a testament to TSRE's dedication to innovation and student success.

Continued Impact and Accessibility

With the launch of the TSRE app in 2023, students gained offline access to learning materials, ensuring their education remains uninterrupted regardless of connectivity challenges. TSRE's approach has empowered over 40,000 students from more than 40 countries, helping them advance their careers and achieve their goals.

Craig and Jon Carissimo's vision has turned into a reality that supports students worldwide. TSRE continues to stand as a pillar of support, preparing future real estate professionals for a world of opportunities. With every new tool and innovation, TSRE reaffirms its commitment to student success, paving the way for a brighter future in real estate.
