RE/MAX Premier Properties taps Cameron Academy as exclusive education provider

RE/MAX Premier Properties has named Cameron Academy its exclusive education provider at the brokerage’s Broadway office in Kissimmee, giving agents access to the full Florida licensing sequence in person and by livestream. The move links one of Osceola County’s fastest-growing brokerages with a school known for Spanish-language real estate training and long-running independent ownership.

Why it matters: - The partnership puts real estate training inside a working brokerage in Osceola County, one of Florida’s fastest-growing and most Hispanic counties. - Cameron Academy’s Spanish-language course options and in-office instruction are aimed at helping more students enter and stay in the business. - Florida continues to license many agents but retain too few, making early support and better access to training a business issue, not just an education issue.

What happened: - RE/MAX Premier Properties named Cameron Academy its exclusive education provider. - The school now teaches the full Florida licensing sequence at the brokerage’s Broadway office in Kissimmee. - Brokerage owner Daisy Lopez-Cid served as national president of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals in 2018. - Lopez-Cid is also a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. - Cameron Academy said the Kissimmee location is one of five classrooms it operates in Greater Orlando.

The details: - Students can take the 63-hour prelicense course in the brokerage office and continue through post-licensing and continuing education there. - The courses are available in person and by livestream. - Cameron Academy’s educators created Florida’s first Spanish-language real estate pre-license course. - The school also uses songs, rhythms, repeated phrasing and stories in its teaching method. - Cameron Academy says those methods were built in-house for retention and application. - The school provides no-cost seats for Florida students ages 15 to 17. - Cameron Academy also offers no-cost seats for adults restarting after domestic violence or incarceration. - The school says it teaches from 15 locations statewide, stretching roughly 380 miles from Key Largo to Palm Coast. - Cameron Academy hired 18 instructors this year. - The school has been independently owned since 2003 and says it is the oldest real estate school in Central Florida still under independent ownership. - Cameron Academy says it has taught more than 100,000 students across 800-plus licensing and continuing education courses. - The company says it has a 5-star average across more than 3,000 reviews on platforms including Google and Yelp. - Cameron Academy says it was among the first schools in the country to put real estate testing on computers. - The school also says it shipped the first mobile exam-prep app for real estate students in the United States. - Cameron Academy says it ran livestreamed classes in Florida years before remote learning became standard. - The school says its exam-preparation app, first shipped in 2013, is being rebuilt into a wider student platform due by the end of Q4 2026. - Cameron Academy’s main office is at 7009 Dr. Phillips Blvd., Suite 110A, Orlando, Florida.

Between the lines: - The brokerage-school partnership is meant to do more than help students pass the state exam. - Michael Cameron Sidawi, owner and director of Cameron Academy, said the real value is the network students build in their first months in the business. - Sidawi said students who train in a working brokerage can see what a career looks like before getting licensed. - The timing fits a statewide retention problem: Florida’s most recent published annual report counted 94,473 inactive real estate licensees and 357,638 active ones. - First-time sales associate candidates in Florida passed the exam 48% of the time in the 12 months to May 2026, while repeat takers passed 31% of the time. - Osceola County added 90,588 residents from July 2020 to July 2025, a 23.2% increase and the second-fastest growth rate among Florida’s 67 counties. - Cameron Academy says the partnership reflects how brokerages often choose the school after their own agents have trained there. - The school says its classrooms are built with partner firms rather than placed in generic office space.

What’s next: - Students in Kissimmee can now complete the licensing sequence at the Broadway office and continue into ongoing education without leaving the brokerage setting. - Cameron Academy says its broader student platform should arrive by the end of Q4 2026. - The school says it continues to look for exclusive education partnerships with brokerages, title agencies and law firms in Florida and beyond.

The bottom line: - RE/MAX Premier Properties is betting that where agents train matters as much as what they learn, and Cameron Academy is using the partnership to extend its model of brokerage-based, multilingual, retention-focused education.
