Southwestern Illinois Board of REALTORS®
Considering A Career In Real Estate?
Step 1: Complete your required real estate education
The required Illinois real estate pre-license program consists of two courses: Broker Pre-License Topics and Broker Pre-License Applied Real Estate Principles. You may take these courses online in a completely self-guided format or with interactive components or in a classroom. Scholarships and grants are available for Illinois REALTORS® pre-license courses through the Illinois Real Estate Educational Foundation (REEF) and the GI Bill®.
Step 2: Pass the Illinois real estate licensing exam
Within two years of completing your pre-license education, register for and take the real estate licensing exam with PSI/AMP (the state exam administrator). It is recommended that you thoroughly review the Illinois Real Estate Examination Program Candidate Handbook before registering.
Step 3: Submit your license application
Illinois brokers work under the sponsorship and supervision of a managing broker, so you will need to ask a managing broker to sponsor your license before you submit your application. Submit your license application and fee to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).
