5 Steps to Get Your Real Estate License in Florida
If you’re ready to start helping people buy and sell property in the Sunshine State, here’s what you have to do to get your license so you can get down to business.
Selling real estate requires a passion for people and properties, and it also requires a license.
First, you need to be at least 18 years old, a high school graduate or equivalent and have a U.S. Social Security number. If you meet those basic requirements, you’re ready for the next five steps.
Step 1:
Take the pre-license courseTake the state-approved sales associate 63-hour pre-license course and pass the exam.
This course focuses on real estate laws, principles and practice, and real estate math. Course packages vary from $100 to $500.
You must pass the exam with a score of at least 70 percent.
NOTE: If you’re approved to practice law in Florida, you don’t need to take the pre-license course. You may take the sales associate exam by affixing a copy of your current Florida Bar card to the exam application.
Step 2:
Apply to take the Florida real estate exam
Take and pass the state real estate examPearson VUE oversees the state exam process and offers the course in a variety of formats and locations. The cost is $36.75 per exam.

Step 5:
