The Illinois Association of REALTORS is a voluntary professional organization, not a government regulatory body. It provides education, networking, and advocacy but cannot license or discipline real estate professionals.
Illinois Department of Commerce
The Illinois Department of Commerce focuses on economic development and business promotion, not professional regulation. It has no authority over real estate licensing or disciplinary matters.
