Founded in 1992, Real Estate Institute has provided high-quality professional education to more than 175,000 alumni nationwide. Real Estate Institute's early goal was to offer Illinois real estate licensing programs that would best prepare students to achieve their own successes. The positive reputation established with loyal students helped the company grow well beyond its real estate roots. Today, our company provides education to meet the regulatory requirements for real estate, insurance, and mortgage brokerage and lending professionals. Our company headquarters is in Niles, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.
