Illinois real estate license exam prep - preparing new agents for the PSI state exam and their Illinois Broker license (the entry-level license; what other states call a salesperson).
Group Enrollment with Friends or Colleagues |
The Illinois Real Estate Broker License is the entry-level license to work as a real estate agent in Illinois. Illinois uses different names from most states: the entry-level license is called a Broker license (what other states call a salesperson or agent), and the senior license is called a Managing Broker. It is issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) - it is a license, not a certification. To earn it, you complete 75 hours of IDFPR-approved pre-license education - a 60-hour Broker Pre-License Topics course (online permitted) plus a 15-hour Applied Real Estate Principles course (interactive) - pass the course final exam, then pass the state licensing exam through PSI (about 140 questions across national and state portions, roughly 75% to pass each). You also complete electronic fingerprinting and work under a sponsoring managing broker.
An Illinois real estate broker license is your entry into one of the largest property markets in the Midwest, from Chicago to the suburbs and downstate. As a licensed broker (Illinois' entry-level license) you can represent buyers and sellers, list and show property, and earn commission - working under a sponsoring managing broker. It is the standard entry point into an Illinois real estate career and the foundation for becoming a managing broker later.
