Florida Licensing Details
The information below is a summary of the minimum education, experience, and examination requirements established by the Florida Real Estate Commission.
We recommend you contact the Real Estate Commission for more detailed information and for any changes which may have occurred.
Follow these steps to obtain your real estate license:
1. Verify the requirements to obtain your license.
- To be eligible for licensure, one must be at least 18 years of age and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
- Successfully complete a FREC-approved prelicensing course for sales associates (Course I) consisting of 63 hours and covering the topics required by the FREC. (The course is valid for licensure purposes for two years after the course completion date.)
- Minimum grade of 70% is required on the end-of-course examination.
- Pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate examination with a grade of at least 75 or pass the Florida Real Estate Law Examination with a grade of at least 30.
- Submit a completed RE 2050-1 form to activate the license, otherwise the license is issued in an inactive status. If you want to immediately begin working as a sales associate, submit the completed RE 2050-1 form at the examination site. Otherwise, submit the RE 2050-1 form to the Division of Real Estate.
2. Locate a real estate school.
Finding a real estate school to obtain your license is easy. You can either take your courses in a classroom setting or online from the comfort of your own home. The online version allows you to finish at your own pace and is much more convenient.
