Avance School of Real Estate

ADRE License S22-0004 · Founded 2022 · AI-powered relaunch 2026 · Phoenix, Arizona

Avance School of Real Estate LLC is an Arizona-licensed continuing education provider for real estate licensees, approved by the Arizona Department of Real Estate under license number S22-0004.

The school was founded on April 21, 2022, by Josh Marquez, Designated Broker of HomePros, and initially delivered continuing education through traditional in-person classroom instruction. In February 2026, Avance relaunched. The school uses its ADRE approval (License S22-0004) to offer continuing education. Courses are delivered on an AI-powered platform with an AI instructor (Ada), optional spoken narration, face verification, and adaptive coaching.

Editorial Position

Avance is the school where Arizona agents learn what AI tools actually save time, what's snake oil, and how to build automations that run without you.

Every course, every issue of the school's publication, and every product Avance ships is anchored in Arizona Revised Statutes, the Arizona Administrative Code, ADRE Substantive Policy Statements, federal law, and Arizona case law — not in National Association of REALTORS or Arizona Association of REALTORS materials. This approach ensures the school's content serves all Arizona licensees, whether REALTOR association members or MLS Choice subscribers.

Each course is delivered through Avance's AI instructor, Ada, with ADRE-compliant face verification and progress tracking. Spoken narration is available on the voice tier. Students retain access to course materials after completion.

Pass Prep

Separately from its ADRE-approved continuing education, Avance operates Pass Prep, an AI-powered study tool for candidates preparing for the Arizona real estate salesperson licensing exam. It offers three access tiers and covers the topics on the Arizona Department of Real Estate salesperson exam curriculum outline and the Pearson VUE national/general content outline.

Pass Prep is not an ADRE-approved course. It carries no continuing education credit and does not satisfy any part of Arizona's 90-hour pre-license education requirement or the six-hour Contract Writing Course required before licensure. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Pearson VUE or the Arizona Department of Real Estate. All study material and practice questions are original work authored by Avance.
