Real Estate Closings

What Real Estate Closings does

Real Estate Closing Path (RECP) is a privately held training and education company founded in 2021 by Mary Anne Harris and headquartered in Kennesaw, Georgia. The company addresses a structural talent shortage in the U.S. real estate closing industry created by the retirement of experienced practitioners, providing structured training for career entrants (pre-closers, closers, post-closers) as well as supplementary education for licensed professionals such as paralegals, realtors, attorneys, and title professionals. Its core curriculum consists of nine 3-hour virtual live workshops priced at $125 each, covering pre-closing preparation, closing fundamentals, post-closing processes, contracts and forms, title searches, title commitment anatomy, deeds, lender basics, and unique closing circumstances (including 1031 exchanges and FIRPTA). All workshops are CE/CLE accredited in Georgia and Florida.

RECP monetizes through a multi-product model: live virtual workshops ($125 per session), an on-demand video library ($75 per course, with a Georgia-specific Escrow Best Practices course at $125), customized Lunch & Learn sessions for enterprise clients quoted on request, and an application-based 4-week or 6-week Career Training Program with job placement assistance. The technology stack is built on the LearnWorlds learning management system for course delivery, video hosting, and certificate generation, with hands-on exposure to industry-standard closing software (SoftPro, Qualia, LandTech) provided through corporate sponsorships. The company's go-to-market is primarily product-led growth via self-serve website registration, supplemented by a multi-channel marketing footprint including LinkedIn Live events, the RECP Radio podcast, blog content, and active presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. Distribution is augmented by a network of platinum-tier hiring partners (McMichael and Gray, Raymer Metro, Thomas and Brown Law), corporate sponsors (First American, CATIC, Southern First Bank), and 30+ volunteer guest speakers from the real estate, lending, and legal communities. The company is a member of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), the Florida Land Title Association (FLTA), and the Southeastern Land Title Association (SLTA), and was featured at the ALTA Edge conference in 2025.

Recent moves12 records

Broad incumbents

• The CE Shop: The CE Shop is an established online continuing education provider for real estate and mortgage professionals across many states. It competes for the same licensed-agent CE wallet RECP targets in Georgia and Florida, but offers a much broader catalog across multiple states and license types.
• 360training: 360training is a large online career and compliance training marketplace with real estate and financial services CE offerings. It competes on price and breadth, whereas RECP competes on deep, closing-process-specific subject matter and job placement.
• Mbition (OnlineEd to Real Estate): Mbition delivers online real estate pre-licensing and continuing education in multiple states. It is comparable as a self-paced online CE channel for licensed professionals, though it does not focus on the closing/title niche RECP specializes in.
• Real Estate Express: Real Estate Express provides online pre-licensing and exam prep for real estate agents. It targets a similar career-entrant learner as RECP's Career Training Program, though its content is geared to agents rather than closing/title professionals.
• Kaplan Real Estate Education: Kaplan is one of the largest U.S. providers of real estate licensing and continuing education. It serves the same individual learner seeking pre-licensing and CE credits that RECP targets, but with a national footprint and broader product portfolio.
• Champions School of Real Estate: Champions is a long-standing real estate school offering licensing and CE courses across several states. It overlaps with RECP on the career-entrant and CE-credit learner, but lacks RECP's closing-specific curriculum and employer placement component.

Emerging players

• AceableAgent: AceableAgent offers online real estate licensing and CE with a modern, mobile-first UX. It is comparable as a tech-forward, state-approved CE competitor that could expand into closing topics to compete with RECP.
• PrepAgent: PrepAgent is a smaller online training provider focused on loan officers and originators, with adjacent content on the mortgage process. It is comparable as a focused, online professional training brand in the real estate finance ecosystem, though it does not cover the closing/title side directly.

Others

• Positively Balanced: Positively Balanced is the founder's sister company providing third-party escrow account reconciliation. It is the parent/sponsor of RECP and shares leadership; it is not a training competitor but an adjacent ecosystem partner feeding hiring pipelines.
• SoftPro: SoftPro is a leading closing and title production software vendor that already sponsors RECP's curriculum. It is comparable as a technology provider in the closing ecosystem with the resources to launch competing training or certification programs.
