What Our Students Have to Say About Us

Frequently Asked Question

Have questions regarding the IL real estate Salesperson course? We got you covered.

If you have a broker license and have been practicing for two out of three years, it is assumed that you have completed the 90 hours of broker pre-licensing requirement and you will only be required to take an additional 45 hours of education. Those hours include the 30-hour Managing Broker Pre-license Topics course and the 15-hour Managing Broker Pre-license Applied Management and Supervision Interactive course. Applicants who have never held a license will first have to complete the 90-hour broker pre-Licensing requirement and the 30 hours of post-licensing education and follow with the 45-hour managing broker requirement. Such applicants would need to also meet the two out of three year requirement before being able to apply for a managing broker license.

Unlike many states where licensees are classified as sales agents and salespersons, Illinois’s first available real estate license is a broker’s license, and the more advanced roles require a managing broker’s license. Broker responsibilities: Leading Buyers & Sellers Prospecting Buyers & Sellers Marketing and Showing Homes Negotiating Sale Price Leading Transactions Renting Units Managing broker responsibilities: Managing and Recruiting New Brokers Reviewing Contracts Lead Distribution Reviewing Contracts Property Management Vendor Relationships

The fixed costs include: $46.00 for the managing broker exam fee The variable costs include: Pre-licensing education tuition Note: These costs are subject to be changed by the state at any time. Illinois Real Estate Educational Foundation (REEF) awards scholarships to real estate students and related fields of study.
