Real estate agents must obtain a license form the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). FREC requires all applicants be at least 18 years old and hold a high school diploma or a GED and that they complete and pass a course approved by FREC. Once you complete the course and pass the end of course exam you can take the state exam to receive your license. A minimum score of 75% is required to pass the state exam.
When you pass the state exam you may activate you license at the exam site by turning in a completed application form. The broker of the firm, where you will be placing your license, must sign the application form. When selecting a firm to place your license with we strongly encourage you to select a REALTOR® member firm.
