About Us - The History of Mykut Real Estate School
Founded in 1954 by John S. Mykut, Mykut Real Estate School has been the trusted name in both pre-license and post-license Real Estate Education in Washington State for over 50 years. John, at that time, was a professor of statistics at Seattle University. In a short time, the Mykut School dominated the real estate industry, and by 1960 was the only school of any size in Washington. Today, the school's records indicate that Mykut Real Estate School has enrolled over 300,000 students since its founding.
In 1982 John S. Mykut passed away and Darryl Bradshaw purchased the school from John's son, Matthew. Darryl Bradshaw had been John's lead instructor in the greater Seattle area since 1962, and he made the decision to maintain the name "Mykut" as well as John's dream of making the school "the best live instruction possible." As did John, Darryl believes that the teacher-student relationship is the backbone of a student's success in education.
The Appraisal School of Washington was founded by Darryl Bradshaw in 1990 as a subsidiary to Mykut Real Estate School, and since that time Mykut has also offered courses in Appraisal Pre-License and Continuing Education for Washington students. Mykut is also approved in Oregon and Idaho for Appraisal classes.
Today, Mykut Real Estate School / Appraisal School of Washington compete with over 350 real estate companies, schools, and professional organizations offering real estate and appraisal education. Most other schools offer tape or computer-based education. Although Mykut offers students this option, every study done by major colleges and universities has shown clearly that live instruction is the most successful method of communicating information to students effectively.
Our loyal referral base throughout the years is an indication of our commitment to quality education and dedication to our students. Thank you for being a part of our legacy.
All of us at Mykut Real Estate School / Appraisal School of Washington are proud to be a part of John S. Mykut's dream
