I can't speak more highly of Jack as an instructor. He somehow kept the class engaged for a 70-hour course, which helped me pass the National and State exams the first time. Initially, I attempted to take a study-at-your-own-pace course and felt overwhelmed by the volume of material. Jack helped separate the wheat from the chaff, and his decades of teaching experience made it an enjoyable week.

My future broker steered me to Connole-Morton and I am so glad she did! She said the course explained real-life situations far better than an online course. Out of the six brokers I contacted, one name kept coming back, CM. I had to wait until the opportune time to take the in person class, but waiting instead of just taking an online course was so worth it. The 3rd day of class as I watched Jack pulling another applicable story out of his prodigious bag of real life examples, I began to realize what a fantastic opportunity my class was being given. In this modern era of canned presentations, webinars, do it yourself tutorials, most of us have probably been through the boring old "it's on me again" program. This class is much different. Jack engages the class from a "let me help you pass the test!" How refreshing is that to hear? Well, help me pass the test he did! During the week, Jack gave God the highest honor when he called him the Landlord. He sure is! I went into the test as prayed up and studied up as going to every class, sitting up front and taking as good as notes as possible while still watching Jack's busy e-pencil drawing away on his projected screen and paying attention to the priceless teaching could prepare me. Jack even coached us on taking the time it takes to familiarize ourselves with the testing software before diving in. How about that for engaging with students? Jack sits in the very seat we do quite often, testing and retesting, honing his knowledge of the most recently presented material so he can best teach his students. May I please get a little flowery? Remember the movie Gladiator? At the beginning Maximus encourages his men and tells them to "Hold the line. Stay with me." As a modern day Maximus who prepares and encourages his class for battle, Jack goes ahead before them and then tells others how to do the same. By trusting and following his directions by taking a day of rest after the class, on Tuesday I was down at the Great Falls airport, sitting in the three person testing area, about ready to start taking the test. It felt a bit different than I had thought, but not that much. There was much more that was very familiar territory due to Jack's painstaking teaching. I felt comfortable enough to get done with tons of time left, go back through all my answers, finding that I had hurried a bit, my nervous modus operandi when test taking, (even back to the 5th grade) and after rereading them to change them to accurately reflect the correct answer. If you are still engaged with this tome and wondering if it the class is worth $4 to 500 more dollars than an online class, yes it is. You will take one class to get your career started. Hold the line. Stay with me. (Jack, or CM) (I think I would be doing you and Jack a disservice to not tell you that I passed both portions the first time!) Thank you, Locke Mellott

Connole-Morton is absolutely the best resource for Real Estate Exam preparation in Montana. Jack and Jerry’s teaching helped me pass the salesperson’s exam on the first try. And now Jack, preparing and teaching the entire class on his own, helped me and many others pass the Brokers exam on the first try. I cannot even imagine how much time and effort it takes to put together all of the updated information this class offers, and Jack does it all. Jack genuinely cares about his students and makes himself available even after class to answer questions. He is a gift to the aspiring Realtors and Brokers of Montana. Do not waste your money anywhere else because you will get a ton of information you don’t need.

My first experience with Connole-Morton was in early 2013 while taking their National and Montana Salesperson Pre-License course. That was a great course. It helped me pass the exams the first time around. I have attended Continuing Education classes with them over the years. I just finished the Montana Broker Real Estate Pre- License Course on December 10, 2023 and passed the National and Montana State Broker Exams on Tuesday, December 12th. I highly recommend attending in person. The personal connection/networking opportunities are many! If you are looking for pre-license training and can’t decide on the source- Sign up with Connole Morton. You will be glad you did. Then take the course and pass the exam!!!! Thank you Jack Morton and Crystal Whitmore for all of the work you put into making this training 100% worth the investment of time and money. Ron 12/18/2023

WOW!! I just completed the 70 hour Montana RE Salesperson Course with Mr. Jack Morton. I chose to take the class in the comfort of my darling apt in Livingston instead of spending a week in Missoula! Taking the class by LIVESTREAM on ZOOM was perfect for me. I did my best NOT to miss one word of Jack’s stories and illustrations. I am so GLAD because I feel that was KEY to me understanding the vast amount of information that was covered. I scheduled my EXAMS in Billings before I started the course. It was scary but I’m glad I did that too! I PASSED both EXAMS easily!! I feel I was set up for SUCCESS by the QUALITY of this course and by our instructor. Thank you so very much!!

Jack did an excellent job teaching this course. He was very engaging and presented the material in an easy-to-understand way. I highly recommend this class!

I’m so pleased with my experience with this Pre-license class with Jack Morton. It was very effective and I passed the exam on my first try! Jack has a well crafted teaching style and keen sense of humor, and that kept me engaged through the course chock-full of information. I liked that he taught only what might be covered on the exam. Highly recommend!

I took the Real Estate Pre-Licensing class taught by Jack Morton. He knew exactly what would be on the exam and taught us everything we needed to know. I passed the test a week later! Highly recommend! It is worth the time and money, especially if you don't do online learning well.

So glad I took Jacks class. He covers everything that is needed to pass the test. I passed on the first try!

I loved this course! There is a lot of information to learn. Jack, Crystal and their team knock it out of the park! Providing excellent, quality information. Well organized and worth the commitment. I took my exams the day after the course was completed and passed both! I would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you Connole-Morton for this opportunity and start to my new career!
