Real estate Broker Pre-License Class
Real estate brokers perform many duties in the real estate transaction. From marketing
homes to establishing escrow accounts, these professionals work to ensure transactions
are fair and legal. Brokers often work as commissioned salespeople meaning the potential
to earn a lot of money is there. They learn to work with multiple offers, sell all
types of properties and search the market to find their client’s ideal place.
In our noncredit, real estate broker pre-license program, you will:
Receive a thorough overview of real estate concepts, brokerage services, real property contracts, the Illinois Real Estate License Act of 2000, financing considerations, property management, fair housing, current information on the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and more.
