Frequently Asked Questions

What pre-licensing education does Florida require before I can sit for the exam?

Florida requires the 63-hour Sales Associate Pre-Licensing Course (sometimes called the 'Course I') approved by FREC before you can register for the state exam. The course covers real estate principles, license law (Chapter 475, F.S.), math, and practice. You'll also need to pass the course's end-of-course exam with at least a 70% before moving on to the state exam.

What's the difference between FREC Course I, II, and III?

FREC Course I (63 hours) is the pre-licensing course for sales associates -- it's what you take first. FREC Course II is the 45-hour post-licensing requirement that you must complete within your first renewal cycle to keep your license active. FREC Course III (72 hours) is the pre-licensing course for brokers, which you'd take later if you decide to upgrade from sales associate to broker.

How is the Florida real estate sales associate exam structured?

The state exam has 100 multiple-choice questions: 45 questions on Florida-specific real estate laws and FREC rules, 45 questions on general real estate principles and practices, and 10 math questions. You get 3.5 hours to finish. A score of 75% (75 correct out of 100) is required to pass. The test is delivered by Pearson VUE at testing centers across the state.

What does it cost to get licensed in Florida?

Budget roughly $300-$500 total. The state exam itself is $36.75, the license application fee is $89, and the required electronic fingerprinting runs about $50-$80. Your 63-hour pre-licensing course usually costs between $100 and $500 depending on the provider and format. Don't forget the post-licensing course after you pass -- that's an additional $100-$300 within your first renewal cycle.

How do I schedule the Florida real estate exam at Pearson VUE?

Once DBPR approves your application (which typically takes 10-30 days), you'll get an email from Pearson VUE with authorization to schedule. You go to the Pearson VUE Florida real estate page, create an account, and pick a date, time, and test center. Pearson VUE has locations throughout Florida -- Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and more. Same-day scheduling is sometimes possible, though a week or two out is more typical.

What happens if I fail the Florida real estate exam? Can I retake it?

Yes, you can retake it. You'll need to pay the $36.75 exam fee again and reschedule through Pearson VUE. There's no mandatory waiting period between attempts in Florida, though you'll want to give yourself time to study the areas where you struggled. Your application remains valid for two years from the date DBPR approves it -- after that, you'd need to reapply from scratch.

Is the 45-hour post-licensing course really required after I pass?

Yes, and missing it is one of the most common ways new licensees lose their licenses. Florida sales associates must complete a 45-hour FREC-approved post-licensing course before their first license renewal (the first renewal happens 18-24 months after initial licensure). If you don't complete it in time, your license is considered null and void -- and you'd have to start the whole process over, including the 63-hour pre-licensing course and the state exam.

How long is a Florida real estate license valid, and how often do I renew?

Your initial Florida sales associate license is valid for 18-24 months, depending on when during the cycle you get licensed. After your first renewal (requiring the 45-hour post-licensing course), subsequent renewals happen every two years and require 14 hours of continuing education. Renewal fees are around $32-$36. Miss a renewal and the license becomes 'involuntary inactive' -- you can reactivate within two years by completing CE and paying late fees.
