Question On Non-realtor MLS access in Illinois

[N/A N/A]

Hi all

Is anyone accessing the MLS without a license in IL? I was about to apply for mine just to access the MLS but from doing searches on here it appears that it will conflict with my wholesaling activities. Plus you need a broker to sponsor you to get a subscription, if I understand correctly, so you need to be actually working as a realtor vs. just getting the license.

I was wondering if anyone found any other methods to do so or not, specific to my state (Illinois)

Thanks

Paul
