Illinois Real Estate License Requirements
Illinois Real Estate Salesperson License Requirements:
- Be at least 21 years old.
- Must be a US citizen.
- Have graduated from high school or obtained the equivalent of a high school degree (GED)
- Have successfully completed the 45-class-hour Illinois Real Estate Transactions course at a real estate school approved by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
NOTE THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SKIP THE SALES ASSOCIATE STEP AND GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR BROKER LICENSE IF YOU TAKE ALL 120 HOURS. THERE IS NO LONGER A REQUIREMENT IN ILLINOIS TO BE A SALES ASSOCIATE FIRST.
Salespersons and brokers must complete 12 hours of continuing education every 2 years. This includes the 6 hour Illinois Real Estate core course, and 6 hours of electives. Brokers for 2008 renewal and beyond must also take a 6 hour Broker Management course which is ONLY available in the classroom (not online/CD-ROM/homestudy.)
Please note: Illinois state regulations require that all continuing education students pass a proctored final exam. A sealed exam and proctor declaration form accompanies every course. Your local librarian makes a great proctor, or any neutral 3rd party can proctor for you.
