About Our School
Our Story & Mission
The Atlanta REALTORS® School of Real Estate has been a trusted leader in real estate education since 1959, when John and Dorothy Correll began tutoring future licensees around their kitchen table. Originally founded as the Georgia Institute of Real Estate (GIRE), the school grew into Georgia’s most distinguished institution for real estate education.
In 1980, GIRE was acquired by the Atlanta REALTORS® Association, allowing us to expand our reach and better serve the real estate community. In 2018, we rebranded as Capitus Real Estate Learning Center to reflect our commitment to modern, student-focused learning. Today, we proudly operate as the Atlanta REALTORS® School of Real Estate, continuing our legacy of excellence while evolving to meet the needs of today’s real estate professionals.
Our Mission

As part of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association—the largest local REALTOR® Association in Georgia—we are committed to delivering high-quality, relevant courses that support every stage of your career.

"I’ve learned so much, not only from the course materials but also from the amazing instructors Jamie and Chris from Lazega & Johanson. Their expertise and teaching style have made complex concepts easy to grasp, and I feel more confident than ever in applying what I’ve learned. From start to finish, it has been an exceptional resource for my professional growth...Highly recommend!"
"The online course provided by Capitus was very thorough and complete in material. All staff were professional and super helpful! I believe the course was an excellent guide for preparation for the real estate exam. Highly recommend!"
"I have taken my fair share of CE courses and state required classes, and Jamie is by far the best instructor I have ever had. I didn’t just memorize the information for the exam, I actually learned how to apply laws and regulations to every day situations. My experience with Capitus was nothing but professional, insightful, and beyond helpful. I would recommend to anyone and everyone looking to further their career in the Real Estate industry. 10 out of 10! Thank you Capitus!!!"
"Amazing facility and staff. Extremely supportive in accomplishing your real estate education goals! I highly recommend. Ms. Joi has a creative and fun way of delivering the material so that we actually retain it. Thank you"
