Affiliate Disclosure
Encompass Real Estate School
Last updated: May 7, 2026
Encompass Real Estate School (“Encompass,” “we,” “us”) believes in transparency about how we make money and what relationships shape the recommendations on our site. This page explains our affiliate partnership with The CE Shop and what that means for you.
Our partnership with The CE Shop
Encompass is an affiliate partner of The CE Shop, a national online provider of real estate continuing education and pre-licensing courses. We have set up a dedicated portal at eres.theceshop.com where students of Encompass can purchase CE courses for any U.S. state, plus continuing education for mortgage loan officers, appraisers, and home inspectors.
How affiliate links work
When you click a link from our website to The CE Shop and make a purchase, Encompass earns a commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone to The CE Shop directly — affiliate commissions are paid by The CE Shop out of their own margins, not added to your purchase total.
Why we partner
Encompass is an NCREC-approved school for North Carolina real estate continuing education, and we deliver our own NC CE courses directly. For students outside North Carolina, and for non-broker professionals (mortgage loan officers, appraisers, home inspectors), we partner with The CE Shop because they offer broader state and profession coverage than we do.
Rather than recommend a provider we don’t believe in just to generate clicks, we partnered with The CE Shop because they have been in business since 2005, are NMLS-approved for mortgage education, and are approved by every relevant state real estate commission.
What this means for our recommendations
We only recommend products and services we would use ourselves or recommend to a colleague. You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to purchase directly from The CE Shop or another provider without going through our portal, that is completely your choice and we respect it.
Where affiliate links appear
Affiliate links to The CE Shop appear in the following places on our site:
-
The On-Demand & Nationwide CE page
-
Selected blog posts that discuss out-of-state CE or non-broker professional education
-
Our email newsletter
-
Some social media posts where appropriate
We aim to clearly identify affiliate links wherever they appear, either inline or through a notation at the top or bottom of the page or post.
