Pass the IL Broker exam with our premium support.
In Illinois the "broker" license is the entry-level real estate license - the equivalent of a salesperson license in other states. The Illinois Real Estate Broker Examination is administered by PSI on behalf of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). The exam is computer-based and split into a national portion and an Illinois state portion. To sit for it, candidates must complete 75 hours of approved pre-licensing education (60 hours of broker pre-license topics and 15 hours of interactive coursework). The state portion focuses on the Real Estate License Act of 2000, agency, license law, escrow, and Illinois statutes and rules.
The IL Real Estate Broker exam evaluates your knowledge across these areas:
Property rights, valuation, financing, contracts, agency and federal fair-housing rules.
The Real Estate License Act of 2000, license categories, supervision and disciplinary actions.
Designated agency, brokerage agreements, dual agency disclosures and Illinois-specific consumer protections.
Escrow handling, radon and lead-based-paint disclosures, taxation and transfer rules.
