“I would highly recommend anyone looking to get their SC real estate license to take Ms. Samantha Chrestensen’s real estate class at Western Upstate Academy classes held at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton, SC. I had very little real estate background when I started the class. Ms. C taught the material in such a unique way by doing an excellent job of engaging each of the students in the class. Due to the quality of the curriculum and Ms. C’s teaching style, I was able to pass the SC real estate license test my first attempt. I also appreciate that Ms. C allows myself and all of her previous students to reach out to her as a real estate resource for many years after completing her class. Highly recommend!!!”

To whom it may concern:

I am a real estate salesperson and was very successful under Samantha Chrestensen’s teaching. She is well versed and professional in the trade of real estate. I was confident in learning under her instruction. Samantha made sure  that me and each student understood each module/lesson before moving on.

The first call to TCTC to ask about the program, I was very impressed with the employee on the phone. She said that I would be under Samantha and I told her that I had been to the other school and I had failed the registry test State/Federal 5 times. So I signed up for the class and put my full attention on learning materials. It was not all me, I had and continue to have an incredible teacher. And lifetime friend! I told her day one when the first time we met, that I failed five times at the other school and it was her turn to teach me. To this day we both laugh that I was a little aggressive! But I wanted to pass and knew I could pass and just want the registry behind me! I did pass and continue to thrive in real estate because of Samantha. She has compassion for all students, loves what she does, and shares all of her knowledge daily! Incredible soul and exceptional at what she does! I pray our family friendships and real estate goals continue for a lifetime!

Definitely take your real estate class at Western Upstate Academy classes held at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton, SC under Ms.  Samantha Chrestensen. Best teacher ever!

Ms. Chrestensen is an excellent instructor. I had her for my real estate classes and while she does an excellent job of helping prepare for the test, I feel that where she really shines is connecting with her students.  She teaches the subjects, but more importantly meets students where they are at and supports them in understanding the courses. 

Ms. Chrestensen’s real estate classes at Western Upstate Academy classes held at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton, SC are the place to enroll.

I have attended Samantha Chrestensen’s classes. Samantha went over and beyond on explaining everything and anything that was asked, everyone that walked through the door she welcomed everyone with open arms and made the environment so super fun and friendly. Samantha’s knowledge was amazing and she had an answer for everything and if she didn’t she would find out. Western Upstate Academy, choose an amazing instructor. Samantha is the best at what she does and she truly cares for her students and wants to help them understand and learn all the information.

Samantha,

I would like to thank you for all that you do for your students. You are the foundation of me becoming a Realtor. I was nervous when I enrolled at Western Upstate Academy through Tri County Tech, but you quickly gave me a piece of mind when I entered your class.

Thank you for your detailed teaching and patience with your students. I always refer people to take your class because I know you will teach the correct way of Real Estate. 

I wish you continuous success.
