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!

We have four locations in Chicago, from Rogers Park to Bridgeport, each with convenient parking, as well as an Online Course. Our curriculum is entirely updated with current Illinois law.

cres instructors
When considering which Real Estate School is right for you, the instructors are a vital component.

price isn't the most important factor
