For an agent to call themselves a "REALTOR®," he or she must be a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). All of T. Nicholas Realty's agents are required to be REALTORS®. and many also have speciality designations. To be a REALTOR®, an agent must pledge themselves to uphold the NAR's
Code of Ethics, and be a member in good standing with the following local, state, and national professional organizations:

Licensure Illinois agents can be licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation as a real estate professional in one of three ways:
• Leasing Agent: licensed only to participate in rental transactions
• Broker: licensed to participate in both rental and sale transactions
• Managing Broker: licensed to participate in both rental and sale transactions, as well as
manage other Leasing Agents and Brokers.
T. Nicholas Realty does not employ Leasing Agents, as part of what separates our brokers from the more than 16,000 agents in Chicago is an increased level of education and training.
