Mission & History

The California Community Colleges Real Estate Education Center (CCCREEC) promotes excellent real estate education at the California Community Colleges. The Center works with instructors to ensure high quality instruction and encourage enrollment, and supports students seeking vocational real estate and appraisal education.

The Center is funded by a grant from the California Community College Real Estate Education Endowment, which was established in 1975 by the California Department of Real Estate. The goal of the endowment is to increase the number of real estate practitioners enrolled in real estate education courses at the community colleges. The Center was previously housed at the Yosemite Community College District, then San Francisco City College. Since 2016, the Center has been hosted at Saddleback College.

The Center promotes real estate and appraisal career education programs, encourages enrollment in California community college classes, supports faculty through professional development, and promotes real estate student scholarships and career opportunities.
