Sign-Up Questions

CRELHC is a real estate company in the State of IL set up as its sole purpose to hold real estate licenses. While in the holding company, licensees can keep their license active, work on a referral basis, and do not have to pay any state, national, local or MLS dues. However, they are no longer able to practice real estate.
If you’re taking a break from practicing real estate, then joining CRELHC will save you time and money. Avoid paying association dues and insurance fees by putting your license on hold. We also manage all the administrative aspects of your license, saving you time and headaches.
Visit our sign-up page to get started.
CRELHC charges an annual fee of $90 to hold your license and annually on October 1st. The IDFPR charges a transfer fee of $25 and collects that fee separately.
No, the only cost associated with putting your license on hold is your annual $90.00 payment to CRELHC. You will not have to pay dues to the MLS or any real estate associations, however you are still required to complete Continuing Education.

Referral Questions
