Revei vs Colibri Real Estate for California Students

Should a California student choose Revei or Colibri?

Short answer: Choose Colibri if you want the lowest headline pre-licensing price and a national brand. Choose us if you want printed books, a money-back guarantee stated in plain language, and California staff, and for CE, where our $65 undercuts Colibri's $69 course fee as of October 2026.

It depends on what you are buying

It depends on whether you are renewing or starting out. Renewing agents should compare the CE fee first: $65 with us against $69 at Colibri, as of October 2026, for the same 45 required hours. New students should compare what the entry package leaves out, because a $165 starter tier that still needs exam prep and books can cost more at the end than our $250 complete package with study materials and a guarantee. Buyers who like subscriptions will prefer Colibri's membership; one time buyers will not.

Choose Colibri if: the lowest entry price decides it, you like a membership model, you may license in other states later.

Choose us if: you are renewing (lower CE fee), you want books, you want the guarantee in writing before checkout, you want to buy once and be done.
