I began my career in Real Estate in April of 2023 through the Chicago Association of REALTORS® Real Estate School. I took the in-person 75-hour Broker Pre-licensing Course with instructor Leo Schwartz. Through Mr.Schwartz’ efforts and the comradery created between my classmates and I, I was able to pass my State and National Broker Exams.
My diligence to complete the requirements for a broker’s license, as well as the support I received along the way, resulted in my ability to receive the Roadmap to REALTOR® Scholarship. As a scholarship recipient I am so thankful to have been considered and feel extremely lucky to have obtained funding to kickstart my career as an agent.

It has been a great experience attending the RRES pre-licensing course. Everything from the course material, the study tools, to the online student portal/dashboard is very streamlined, clear, and useful! The instructor I had, Mrs. Risa Weiss-Kallis, is second to none! She had a great energy in each class that was infectious and a joy to experience. She always brought her real-world experience into the classroom to expand our understanding of various topics. I am grateful to be a recipient of this scholarship which has jump-started my career path! I would highly recommend RRES pre-licensing course to anyone looking for a great real estate school that will not only prepare them to take the exam but also for a successful career. – Catherine Craighead
