Our Vision

Southport Real Estate Academy has a saying, “We teach real estate the right way, with no brokers left behind.” Our students walk away ahead of the rest!

Mission Statement

Southport Real Estate Academy is passionate about real estate. We educate and train the people of our community to assist our family, friends and neighbors with their most important purchase, a place to call home! We believe success starts with preparation. SPREA produces agents that are to be assets not only to their firms but also to their communities. Our continuing education programs provide growth with our custom tools, tips, and industry techniques! Our instructors ARE practicing agents who will keep you informed with “local” market changes, using ‘real world’ applications and modern education resource materials. We aim to keep our student’s expertise sharpened by listening not lecturing! We love what we do, and our goal is to be a beacon of ‘hands on’ education and a reliable source of reference for the entire real estate community here in southeastern North Carolina.
