I PASSED MY IL BROKER EXAM-IM READY!!
I passed my exam and will be receiving my license once I find a suitable Brokerage near Chicago, IL to sponsor me. I'm solely focused on being a investor friendly broker and I can't wait to find the right company. I plan on using my license to purchase my own investments and building my own portfolio while helping other investors build as well. I'm so happy I found bigger pockets I've learned so much about the business through this website. Thanks again BP.

I suggest to interview Keller Williams Realty. To my understanding it is very investor friendly broker. Try them . Congratulation on getting your Illinois license!

Congrats! Check out Chicagland Brokers. I have been happy there and the low cost of maintaining a license is very "investor friendly"!

Congratulations!
You will be benefited by having the license as I did.
I just passed my Illinois real estate managing broker license exam. It was tough, but a lot of fun for me. I work near St Louis, however Chicago especially North Side Market is very hot and expensive.
Good Luck.
James
