An unlicensed executive secretary of a real estate brokerage office can do which of the following without violating the Illinois Real Estate License Act

Collecting rents in exchange for a percentage involves a financial transaction linked to real estate services, which is considered a licensed activity. This requires the individual to hold a real estate license, as they would be participating in activities beyond administrative support.

Receiving a fee for referrals constitutes a form of commission or compensation tied to real estate activities. Under the Illinois Real Estate License Act, only licensed individuals are permitted to earn compensation for referring clients or prospects, making this choice non-compliant for an unlicensed secretary.

Hosting a public open house involves marketing and offering property for sale, which falls under the definition of real estate brokerage activities. This role requires the individual to hold a valid real estate license to legally engage with potential buyers and conduct open house events.
