Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Illinois real estate salesperson post-licensing requirement?

    In Illinois, all newly licensed real estate brokers (salespersons) are required to complete a 45-hour post-licensing education program. This education is mandatory for your first license renewal. After you pass the state exam, you have a limited time to complete this requirement before your license expires.

  • What topics are covered in the 45-hour post-licensing course?

    The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) requires a specific curriculum. The 45 hours are divided into three 15-hour courses:

    • Applied Brokerage Principles: This course covers the day-to-day business practices of a real estate brokerage.
    • Risk Management and Discipline: This focuses on legal issues, avoiding risk, and understanding disciplinary procedures. It also includes the required one-hour Sexual Harassment Prevention Training.
    • Transactional Issues: This course delves into common issues that can arise during real estate transactions.
  • What happens if I don't complete the 45-hour post-license education on time?

    If you fail to complete your 45-hour post-licensing requirement by the deadline, your license will become inactive. You will not be able to practice real estate until you complete the required courses, pay any applicable fees, and reactivate your license. It's crucial to complete your education on time to avoid fines or a lapse in your licensure.
