How to Obtain a Florida Real Estate License

All info is accurate to the best of my knowledge. But things can and do change. Please let me know at tom@jeanscotthomes.com if anything needs to be updated. Thank you.

Florida Real Estate License

Florida approved, 63-hour real estate course is required. A couple schools we recommend are Climer (https://www.climerrealestateschool.com/) and IFREC (https://www.ifrec.com/courses/real-estate-sales-associate/pre-license/) Cost is $295 – $449. 

For an online course, The CE Shop (https://kwu.theceshop.com/florida/pre-licensing/fl-sales-associate-pre-licensing-cost) is a good one to consider. Feel free to use KW20 to get 20% off if they don’t have a better offer available. Climer and IFREC also offer an online course. Cost is $100 – $299.

State license fee is $89. Apply early. They do background checks, including unpaid, out-of-state fines.
