Under the Illinois Real Estate License Act of 2000, which of the following is true regarding a managing broker's ability to sponsor themselves?

Correct Answer

C) Yes. A managing broker may act as their own sponsor under the License Act.

Under 225 ILCS 454/1-10 and related provisions of the Illinois Real Estate License Act of 2000, a managing broker is explicitly permitted to self-sponsor — that is, to act as their own sponsoring broker. This allows a managing broker operating independently to practice without being sponsored by a separate entity or individual.

Answer Options
A
No. Only a licensed corporation or LLC may serve as a sponsoring broker in Illinois.
B
No. A managing broker must obtain a separate sponsoring broker license before sponsoring any licensee, including themselves.
C
Yes. A managing broker may act as their own sponsor under the License Act.
D
Yes, but only if the managing broker operates as a sole proprietorship and registers the sponsorship with IDFPR annually.
