Effective 1/1/2026, reciprocal licensing with Illinois has been replaced by what is called an “Endorsement Program”. Now any licensee with a valid real estate license from any state can get an Illinois license by completing a 30-hour Pre-License Endorsement Course, then pass a State Exam. For Broker licensees it is a 40 multiple choice state specific topics exam and for Managing Broker licensees it is a 50 question multiple choice state specific topics exam. Sorry, but Sure Win does NOT offer the Endorsement Course at this time.
While Illinois has replaced the reciprocal licensing program, Florida still allows Mutual Recognition Licensing for Illinois Real Estate Licensees.
