South Carolina Real Estate School
Hello, my name is Stacey Starnes and I am the owner of the Real Estate School for Success.
I am also a practicing and top producing real estate agent! I decided to start this school after getting my own real estate license and going through the licensing process myself.
Like with all education it is important where you go to get that education. Some high school students don't try as hard as others — but education can make all the difference. After completing my first licensing course, I realized that I needed something more. After buying countless study guides and supplemental materials, I decided to start the Real Estate School for Success. But it shouldn't be this hard, right? Of course not, if you have a curriculum and resources ready and waiting for you.
At the Real Estate School for Success we provide you with everything you will need to be successful in your real estate career.
Our Instructors
But you will not just gain from my experiences but from our experienced instructors as well. We have a team of practicing professionals ready to share their expertise:
- Frankie Griffin
- Alonzo Cox
- Debbie Nichols
- Joseph Griffin
- Jackie Stone
- Marcy Glover
I also developed the success course. The success course is a two day course that is jam packed with information on how to be a successful agent in today's competitive market.
We are an approved education provider of real estate courses in the State of South Carolina. The South Carolina Real Estate Commission has approved our curriculum and our instructors.
What Makes Us Different? ("There is nothing like Experience")
A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

"There is nothing like Experience" and our teachers will gladly share their experience with you. This is why our slogan is "Success Starts Here" — because we will not only get you prepared to take your real estate exams but we will prepare you for a successful career.
