The ratio of brokers to sales agents is small. Yes, the questions for the broker exam are harder. There are a larger number of questions and there is a shorter time to finish than for the agent exam, and it requires a higher score. We have greater emphasis on contracts, office procedures, the legal aspects of Real Estate, financing, and on Fair Housing Law. These, of course, are all items that you know already as a practicing Real Estate agent and you can handle it. The professional self-paced online Illinois Real Estate broker license preparation program (College Tutor) quickly and efficiently reintroduces these concepts to let you pass Illinois’s broker exam on your first try.
You realize that being a broker carries important benefits: A higher percentage ‘take’ of available sales commissions and the choice of hiring others to expand your territorial reach. Also the abilities to become independent by opening your own sales office, to teach Real Estate courses, to testify in court cases and to broker loans. All this in addition to the increased prestige of being a broker with the additional business this title brings.
The question is: Why forego these advantages? The reasons most often cited are the lack of time and the troubles associated with studying for and passing the tougher Broker exam. That, of course, is where our self-paced online professional, top-rated Illinois Real Estate broker license preparation program comes in. Successful agents like you, who already know the subject matter fairly well, easily breeze through the questions at up to 200 questions per hour or as fast as you can read. You will be thoroughly versed in how to handle those pesky "except" and the killer "double-negative" questions.
