As we struggle with being “locked down” month after month, everyone wonders what the future will bring. If you’ve been thinking about getting your real estate license, we have good news: the housing market is strong! This article, written in mid June, shows that the housing market has improved significantly year-over-year. And many people are considering a Real Estate license for the first time, since they’re tired of being at the mercy of an employer as their sole source of income.
Our classrooms are back open, and sessions are selling out very quickly!
We encourage you to skim through the website to get answers to all of your questions (our video channel is particularly helpful), then when you’re ready, click on the “Schedule & Pricing” link at the top to get signed up. Let us know when you have questions – we’re here to help!
You're in the right place
If you’re thinking about getting your Real Estate license, you’re in the right place! The mission of the Chicago Real Estate School is to help our students launch successful Real Estate careers. We do that by providing superior preparation for the Illinois Real Estate exam, and we guarantee that you’ll have a job offer once you pass the exam.
find everything you need
You’ll find everything you need, right here in one website: details about what it’s like to be a Real Estate agent (in Illinois the official term is “Broker”), information on the process from start to finish, tips on testing, and everything you need to know about licensing. What you WON’T find on our website is a confusing array of courses and licenses, like some other school websites. We do one thing, and we do it REALLY well: we help you become a Real Estate Broker!

the quality of education you receive is critical

price isn't the most important factor
