Real Estate Licensing in June Park CDP, Florida

Who Needs a License

Under Florida law, a real estate license is required to engage in activities defined as a "real estate transaction" on behalf of another person for compensation. [Fla. Stat. § 489.105] defines a broker as a person who, for compensation or promise of compensation, sells, exchanges, purchases, rents, or leases real property, or who offers or attempts to do so, or who holds themselves out as engaged in these activities. A sales associate performs these same functions under a broker's employment.

If you are acting as an agent—whether buying, selling, leasing, or managing real property for others in exchange for commission or fee—you must be licensed.

How to Get Licensed

Real estate licensing in Florida is administered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate.

Step-by-step process:

1. Pre-licensing education: Complete a 63-hour prelicensing course from an approved provider.
2. Examination: Pass the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) licensing exam.
3. Broker sponsorship: As a sales associate, you must be employed by a licensed broker before you can be licensed. Brokers must apply directly to DBPR.
4. Application: Submit your application to DBPR with exam results and proof of broker sponsorship.
5. Background check: DBPR conducts a background check as part of the licensing process.

Reference [Fla. Stat. § 489.105] for statutory definitions and licensing requirements.
