State requirements for Becoming a Licensed Florida Real Estate Agent
You must have an active licensed Florida real estate Broker sponsor you before you can practice as a licensed salesperson in Florida. However, you can be awarded your Florida Real Estate License as an inactive agent until you find a broker that you want to work for. Whether you are looking at Real Estate as a supplement to your income or as a long-time career, here are a few helpful tips to ensure your success!
Any active member in good standing with the Florida Bar who is otherwise qualified under the real estate license law is exempt from the FREC prescribed prerequisite educational course for licensure as a real estate sales associate.
An applicant must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma (more detailed information is available in Chapter 475.17, Florida Statutes), and fulfill the following:
Real Estate Associate
- Successfully complete a FREC-approved pre-licensing course for sales associates (Course I) consisting of 63 classroom-hours and covering the topics required by the FREC. The course is valid for licensure purposes for two years after the course completion date. Licensees with a permanent physical disability as defined by FREC Rule 61J2-3.013(2) may qualify for a correspondence pre-licensing course if unable, due to a permanent physical disability, to attend the site where the course is conducted.
- Submit a completed Application, fingerprint card, and appropriate fee (may submit this package prior to completing Step 1).
- Pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate examination with a grade of at least 75 or pass the Florida Real Estate Law Examination with a grade of at least 30.Note - Florida has entered into a Mutual Recognition agreement with the following 10 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. See the Mutual Recognition page for specific requirements.
- Submit a completed RE 2050-1 form to activate the license, otherwise the license is issued in an inactive status. If you want to immediately begin working as a real estate sales associate, submit the completed RE 2050-1 form at the examination site. Otherwise, submit the RE 2050-1 form to the Division of Real Estate.
- Whether holding an active or inactive license, successfully complete a FREC-approved post-licensing course for sales associate consisting of at least 45 classroom-hours, prior to the expiration of the initial sales associate license.
Tips before you get started:
- Familiarize yourself with all of the requirements to be an agent by visiting the Department of Business and Professional Regulation Division of Real Estate*. The licensing process is fairly straight-forward but there are several required forms and fees before the application can be filed.
- Plan your education schedule. Online courses provide great flexibility, but you must dedicate plenty of time to completing them. A Florida Real Estate Salesperson license requires 63 hours.
- Select courses that fit your learning style (i.e., activities and engagement, quizzes, exams and the ability to stop and return to the course). Real Estate Institute of America offers Florida Pre-license courses for 3 different learning styles, an all Online Version, a correspondence book version and a correspondence pdf version.
- Test your knowledge and prepare for the exam. Take an exam prep course that matches your state’s exam environment. Real Estate Institute of America offers both a National portion exam prep and Florida portion exam prep.
- Follow the Florida Real Estate commission instructions for scheduling your exam!

I am currently licensed in Delaware and Maryland. What are my requirements for obtaining a Florida license????
Florida’s Mutual Recognition Information
Florida has mutual recognition with 11 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Brokers and Sales Associates can qualify for an equivalent type license in Florida if they meet the following qualifications:
Must be 18 years of age and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
Applicant must not be a resident of Florida, at time of application.
Applicants from all other states must take the 63 hour Florida real estate pre-licensing course.
Applicants from Kentucky, Georgia, and Mississippi, must have obtained the Real Estate license by completing the educational requirements, satisfying the experience requirements, if any, and passing the Real Estate licensing examination of a state with which we have mutual recognition. Licensees can not claim mutual recognition if they obtained their license, in the mutual state, by reciprocity.
All other applicants must have obtained the Real Estate license by having met the education and examination requirements of the state with which Florida has mutual recognition.
Applicant must hold a valid, current and active real estate license, in good standing, issued by the Real Estate licensing agency in the state from which the applicant is applying.
The intent of these agreements is to recognize the education and experience that real estate licensees have acquired in another state. These agreements apply to nonresidents licensed in other jurisdictions. Each licensee who applies for Florida licensure from a state or jurisdiction that has a current mutual recognition agreement with Florida must pass a written Florida-specific real estate law examination. The exam consists of 40 questions of 1 point in value per question. A grade of 30 points or higher must be achieved to pass the exam. These agreements also ensure that Florida licensees have equal opportunity for licensure in those jurisdictions with which agreements are concluded.
Please note that Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Tennessee applicants must meet additional requirements.
Alabama real estate licensees must have held an active broker’s or sales associate’s license for at least 12 months during the preceding five years if the applicant is a broker.
Arkansas Real Estate licensees must have held an active broker’s or sales associate’s license for at least 12 months during the preceding five years if the applicant is a broker.
Colorado Real Estate licensees must have held an active broker or broker associate license for at least 12 months during the preceding five years if the applicant is a broker. Please note that a Colorado Broker Associate is the equivalent to a Florida Sales Associate.

Oklahoma Real Estate licensees must have held an active sales associate’s license for at least 12 months during the preceding five years in the office of one or more real estate brokers if the applicant is a sales associate.

Tennessee broker applicants must have three (3) years active experience as a sales associate or broker prior to application. (Must have held an active license for 3 years before being eligible to file a broker application.)
