Real Estate Brokers Fees

[Kasia Sliwa]

Hello I am thinking of signing up to be real estate broker in Illinois.  I would like to know what are the fees that brokers pay every year?

Keith McMahon hit the fees on the head. I'm also a Naperville Realtor. There will also be biannual continuing Ed that's about $225. My office/tech fee is between $60-100 a month. I spend thousands a month on marketing as well. Lock boxes are about $125 a pop also will need to buy signs open house signs business cards. And you will be investing into each listing a few hundred dollars. To protect your assets it will cost you around $700 to set up an LLC.

Just a few extras that people tend to forget about.
