Most people are surprised at how relatively easy it is to get a real estate license in Illinois. The whole process can be done in about 2 months. The steps are…
– take the 75-hour Pre-license Course
– pass the state exam
– find a Sponsoring Broker
– apply for the license, and begin selling immediately!
The course is typically 5 weeks long.
Essentially, you need to…
1. be at least 18 years old
2. attend an approved real estate school
3. pass the state exam
4. find a Sponsoring Broker
5. apply for the license
At that point, you can begin selling immediately under a provisional license. Note that your real estate school will help you through the process, up to the point where you find a Sponsoring Broker, and they’ll assist you from there!
The state calls the course the “75 hour course” because it should take the average person about 75 hours to learn the material. After years of experience, we have found that 25 hours is the optimal amount of time to spend in a classroom learning the material from an instructor. Any more than that, and the instructor would just be reading the textbook to you. We think your time is too valuable for that! With 25 hours of classroom instruction and time spent out of class taking the required quizzes and studying the text, you will be successful! In fact, over 90% of our students pass the Illinois Real Estate Exam on their FIRST TRY!

The online material was easy to manage and the accessibility to review materials made this course challenging yet easy to work through.
The online instructors were just amazing. I'm so happy I made this choice to come here.
Mr. McNeal was an amazing instructor! He gave us plenty of exam prep and everything he discussed was on the exam. I passed on the first try thanks to him. I can’t thank him enough for his knowledge.
