75 Hour Broker Pre-Licensing

So, You Want To Be A Real Estate Broker?

A real estate career begins with a broker’s license. According to Illinois law, a broker’s license is necessary to assist others in any way intended for the sale or lease of real estate, for compensation. This includes the representation of clients in the negotiation of real estate sales contracts or leases, as well as the issuance of advertisements for the sale, purchase or lease of real estate.

The first step is the 75-Hour Broker Pre-license course.
