About AREA | Georgia Real Estate School
America's Real Estate Academy has been helping Georgians launch and advance their appraisal, real estate sales, home inspection and other careers since 2002.
Our Story
Founded in 2002, America's Real Estate Academy, Inc. (AREA) has been one of Georgia's most trusted real estate sales and appraisal education providers. Throughout the years professional education and training was expanded to offer home inspection, travel advisor and other career paths. Located in Metro Atlanta, we support candidates throughout the state with flexible online learning options.
AREA was founded by Dick Viti and Nora Monahan. Mr. Viti, a veteran, former builder and general contractor, held GA and FL Certified General Appraiser and Real Estate Broker licenses as well as GA and FL instructor licenses for real estate sales, appraisal and the AQB National USPAP course. Nora Monahan was a former elected county official and licensed as a real estate broker, appraiser, GA state instructor in both fields, and licensed insurance agent.
Over the past two decades, Dick Viti and Nora Monahan and the AREA team have helped thousands of Georgia students launch successful careers in real estate, from first-time agents to experienced brokers. We have assisted others to become registered appraisers, begin their appraisal career and then advance to certified residential/general appraisers. AREA provided extensive curriculum to home inspection candidates to ensure accurate and safe construction knowledge. Whether an individual was looking to expand their knowledge for personal real estate investing or wanted to gain a state license for business, AREA has been there to provide the educational tools necessary.
