Real Estate Licensing in Yulee CDP, Florida

Who Needs a License

Florida law requires licensing for individuals who engage in real estate brokerage or sales activities. Under Fla. Stat. § 489.105, a "broker" is defined as any person who, for compensation, sells, exchanges, purchases, rents, or leases real property, or who negotiates or offers to negotiate the purchase, sale, exchange, or rental of real property. A "sales associate" performs these same activities on behalf of a broker.

If you represent clients in real estate transactions in Yulee CDP—whether buying, selling, leasing, or managing property—you must hold an active Florida real estate license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate.
