About



Welcome! My name is Taylor and I am from a small town in Illinois. I grew up on a farm with my parents, 3 siblings, and plenty of farm animals and pets. Currently, I am a college student and also working towards obtaining my Illinois Real Estate License. I am majoring in Business Administration to help secure a solid knowledge of business before entering the real estate world. To further my real estate knowledge, this past summer, I worked as an intern at a local real estate agency. My internship experience was where I finally confirmed what I really already knew - I am fascinated by and eager to learn more about real estate. This journey has been so amazing but it has had its challenges. I am here, firsthand, to help guide those who may be in the same shoes. Through this blog I want to document the path I have travelled and look forward to what is about to come. I aim to educate and inspire my readers who are interested, or in the process of taking those early steps of their real estate careers. I will touch on why I chose real estate, how to start this process, challenges I have faced, tips & tricks, and so much more. I am more than excited to share my journey with you all. My hope is that I can help my readers and they can help me too! I encourage my readers to let me know what topics they are interested in or what questions they have! You can contact me at therealtruthrealestate@gmail.com.

Despite the market's collapse, he managed to carve out a niche for himself, using his people skills and relentless work ethic to build a name from scratch. One of the key characteristics that sets Ryan Serhant apart is his resilience. He didn't shy away from challenges but embraced them. Starting in real estate during a market downturn taught him how to adapt, strategize, and constantly learn from every deal, whether successful or not.

Help Needed!

  I’m excited to be on the journey toward becoming a licensed real estate agent in Illinois! As I prepare for the Illinois Real Estate License Exam, I’m looking for advice and resources that might help me succeed. The test requires a thorough comprehension of Illinois-specific laws, real estate principles, and practical expertise. It can be daunting to juggle all the study material, but I know that having a solid understanding of contracts, property ownership, and Illinois legislation will be crucial. At this point, I am still learning the courses but I am definitely overwhelmed thinking about all the material I have still yet to learn. I hope to lean on my mentor from my internship to help guide my studies but I am open to new ideas on how to prepare.  For anyone who has already been through the process, what study methods worked best for you? Are there particular flashcards, practice exams, or online courses that made a difference? If you used prep books, I’d love to know wh...
