The Real Estate Learning

What The Real Estate Learning does

The Real Estate Learning Group (operating as TRELG, trelg.com) is a privately held real estate education provider founded in 2005 and based in Westbrook, Maine (with a listed Scarborough city in some sources). The company is an approved education provider for the Maine Real Estate Commission and delivers the state-mandated curriculum required to obtain and maintain Maine real estate licensure, plus continuing education approved in New Hampshire. Its core product set comprises three sequential pre-licensing courses — the 55-hour Sales Agent Course, 60-hour Associate Broker Course, and 50-hour Broker/Designated Broker Course — together with the Maine Law Exam Prep Course for reciprocal licensing and license reactivations. Continuing education for active licensees is delivered through three formats: live in-person classes (often free when sponsors are secured), livestream sessions via Zoom, and self-paced online courses, supplemented by the mandatory Reasonable Care and Diligence Core Course (effective April 1, 2025) and a Reference Book for Maine Real Estate Licensees.

The underlying platform is the Roundabout Education learning management system, which powers self-paced video instruction, digital course materials, student progress tracking, and completion certificate generation. The site also exposes a Student Center portal for account management, with video tutorials for password reset and contact updates. Live CE attendance requires continuous webcam presence per MREC-approved policy.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and pay-as-you-go, with revenue driven by one-time course enrollment fees (pre-licensing, CE, exam prep). Distribution is entirely direct through the company's website and phone support (800-796-5308), with no third-party resellers or marketplace listings. Marketing relies on organic channels: the company website, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and email, alongside referral traffic from the Maine Real Estate Commission. The Host a Class program provides a light B2B/enterprise overlay where partner organizations sponsor or host live classes. The company has a 1-10 employee footprint, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no patent or trademark filings in the available data.

Core offering

The Real Estate Learning Group is an approved education provider for the Maine Real Estate Commission that delivers state-required pre-licensing courses (55-hour Sales Agent, 60-hour Associate Broker, and 50-hour Broker/Designated Broker) and biennial continuing education courses for licensed real estate professionals in Maine and New Hampshire. Courses are delivered in three formats — online self-paced, livestream via Zoom, and live in-person — with instant completion certificates issued upon course and evaluation completion.

Product overview

The Real Estate Learning Group provides a comprehensive suite of online and in-person real estate education products for Maine and New Hampshire. The core product lineup includes three sequential licensing courses: the Sales Agent Course (55-hour entry-level pre-licensing), the Associate Broker Course (60-hour professional advancement), and the Broker/Designated Broker Course (50-hour broker preparation). These are supplemented by the Maine Law Exam Prep Course for reciprocal licenses and license reactivations. Continuing education is delivered through three formats: live in-person classes, livestream via Zoom, and self-paced online courses—all counting toward the mandatory 21-hour biennial CE requirement that includes the Reasonable Care and Diligence Core Course. The company also offers professional support services including Documented Field Experience documentation, extension processing, and Maine Real Estate Commission application guidance. Course delivery relies on video-based content with built-in accessibility features including closed captioning and read aloud options.
