Article Summary: This article contains helpful information for anyone who is interested in knowing the requirements to earn a real estate license in Florida. There are details below including the regulating Commission, necessary education, examination, renewal requirements, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the state of Florida, The Real Estate Commission<\/a> (FREC) is responsible for overseeing the real estate license law. The seven members of the Commission, appointed by the Governor, administer and enforce the laws in order to protect the public. Their responsibilities also include overseeing the education and regulation of all Real Estate licenses within the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like several other states, Florida requires someone to be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma or GED to qualify for a real estate<\/a> license. The FREC also must have received a clean background check and fingerprint scan before issuing a Florida real estate salesperson license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Becoming a licensed realtor in Florida is a process, but it\u2019s not difficult. The state requires all people interested in becoming licensed realtor to take educational courses, pass an exam, pass a state licensing exam, and pay a fee. No realtor in Florida can open his or her own office until they are a broker, which requires the real estate agent to wait a specific length of time and take secondary class and exam. Before you do any of that, you must be at least 18 and a valid Social Security Number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that these requirements can change, so it’s a good idea to check the official Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) website or contact them directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFlorida Real Estate License Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
