David L. Rockwell started the Rockwell Institute as a small real estate school in 1974. Over the next several years, we became the leading real estate school in the Pacific Northwest, a position we’ve held ever since.
In 1981, Rockwell branched out into textbook publishing. Our Washington Real Estate Fundamentals book has been the most widely used textbook for prelicense classes in Washington for many years, and we currently publish several other successful titles, some that are specifically for Washington or California, and some for use nationwide.
In 1994, Rockwell took another step forward when we began developing computer-based real estate courses. As the Internet grew, we became one of the first companies to offer real estate courses online. Today, Rockwell’s online courses are the best available on the web.
In 2020, Rockwell joined the Colibri Real Estate family, which empowers aspiring and seasoned real estate professionals to start or advance their career through unmatched learning solutions.
