Explanation

Illinois requires that licensees provide consumers with the 'Disclosure of Real Estate Agency Relationships' brochure (the Illinois agency disclosure form) at the first 'substantive contact'—the point in the relationship where meaningful communication about their specific needs and the agency relationship occurs. This ensures consumers understand the different types of representation before engaging with an agent.
