Question regarding RE license for prop. management Illinois

[Kevin K.]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a job with a property management company.  I've begun applying to some local companies lately and noticed that some of them prefer the candidate obtain their RE license x days after hire if they have not already.  My understanding is that once you get your broker's license, you'll need sponsored supervision from a brokerage until you get a managing broker's license, so until then all activity you do will be the responsibility of the brokerage.  Is it likely that the property management companies just have their own licenses that you would work under? Or is it that the management companies are actually seeking candidates who might already have their managing license?

Best,

Kevin
