DDisclosure is not required when purchasing for personal use

Explanation

Illinois requires that a licensed real estate broker who is purchasing property for their own account must disclose their licensed status to the seller (or buyer if selling) before submitting an offer or entering into a contract. This prevents the licensee from gaining an unfair advantage through their professional knowledge without the other party being aware of their expertise.
