What tests do I need to take to get my Florida real estate license?

A real estate license applicant must first enroll and complete the required pre-license course unless exempted by the FREC. To obtain a Florida real estate sales associate license, an applicant must first complete the DBPR's Sales Associate Initial Application (RE1) with a real estate application fee of $83.75.

Florida has several fees associated with obtaining a Florida real estate sales associate license. According to Florida Statute 475.125(1), the FREC has established that the initial exam and application fees cannot exceed $100, and the initial license fee and renewal fee may not exceed $50 for each year.

The DBPR generally takes 10 to 30 days to complete the application process, if the application is submitted as complete. The DBPR must complete its process in 90 days or less. Real estate license applicants will be notified if the real estate application is deficient or needs clarification.

Candidates for the Florida real estate sales associate license must complete the 63-hour pre-license course and final exam, plus the Florida State real estate exam proctored by Pearson Vue.
