| Careers in Real Estate |
| |
| Many people are interested in a real estate career because
they want a flexible work schedule and the unlimited earning potential
that sales positions can offer. |
| |
| All Illinois real estate salespeople and brokers are
licensed by the state through the Office of Banks and Real Estate (OBRE).
To get your real estate license, you must first complete the required education
and pass the licensing examination. |
| |
| A real estate agent is a REALTOR® when he or she
becomes a member of the REALTOR® Association. REALTOR® Membership
is available to Illinois licensed real estate brokers and salespersons,
as well as licensed or certified appraisers. The term REALTOR® is a
registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional
who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and who subscribes
to its strict Code of Ethics. |
| |
| Membership in CAAR also includes a large contingent
of Affiliate members, whose businesses have interests in real estate and
who are supportive of the Association and its REALTOR® members. |
