Florida real estate agent pre-licensing education. Created for agents, by agents.

Yes! You can absolutely get your Florida real estate license online. Online real estate classes let you finish your pre-licensing education on your own schedule, from any device.

They can be just as effective as in-person classes (or, for some learners, even more effective) and are super convenient for people with responsibilities like work or childcare.

The only parts of the licensing process that must be done in person are fingerprinting and taking the state real estate exam.

To qualify for a Florida real estate salesperson license, applicants must meet the requirements established by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC).

Applicants must:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Be honest and truthful

A conviction for a crime may result in the denial of a license. Failure to disclose a criminal conviction or disciplinary action may also result in denial of a license.

Applicants do not need to be Florida residents. Out-of-state applicants must comply with additional requirements established by the Florida Real Estate Commission.

Once you've completed the 63-hour Course I and passed the end-of-course examination, you can apply for your Florida real estate sales associate license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

Applications are submitted online at www.myfloridalicense.com. There is no paper application — the entire process is completed through the DBPR online portal.

As part of the application process you will need to submit your fingerprints through a DBPR-approved vendor. Fingerprinting can be completed before or after you submit your application, but your license will not be issued until both steps are complete.

The DBPR application fee is approximately $83.75. Once your application is approved — typically within 10 to 30 days — Pearson VUE will contact you by email with instructions to schedule your Florida real estate state exam at a testing center near you. You can find testing locations and additional exam information at pearsonvue.com/fl/realestate. The state exam fee is approximately $36.75 per attempt, payable directly to Pearson VUE when you schedule.

State fees are subject to change. Verify current amounts at myfloridalicense.com before applying.

The biggest variable in determining the cost of a Florida real estate license is which real estate school you choose. In Florida, a pre-license course can cost anywhere from $100 to $700 depending on the provider.

There are also state fees associated with the licensing process. These fees include a DBPR license application fee of approximately $83.75, a Pearson VUE state exam fee of approximately $36.75 each time you sit for the exam, and a fingerprinting fee of approximately $36 to $80 depending on the vendor you use.

Adding all these costs together, you should expect to pay somewhere around $220 to $865 total to get your real estate license in Florida. State fees are subject to change — verify current amounts at myfloridalicense.com and pearsonvue.com/fl before applying.

Take the State Exam

Once you complete the 63-hour Course I and pass the end-of-course examination, you can apply for your Florida Real Estate Salesperson license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

Apply online at myfloridalicense.com. As part of the application you will need to submit your fingerprints through a DBPR-approved vendor — this can be done before or after you submit your application. Once your application is approved, Pearson VUE will contact you by email with instructions to schedule your state exam at a testing center near you. DBPR approval typically takes 10 to 30 days. You must pass the Florida Real Estate Salesperson state exam with a score of 75 or higher out of 100.

Find a Sponsoring Broker

You can receive your Florida sales associate license without a broker — it will simply be issued as inactive. But an inactive license means you cannot legally perform any activity that requires a real estate license. The whole reason you got a license is so you could work as a real estate agent, right?

If you haven't already found a Florida real estate broker to register with, now's the time to start lining up interviews. Once you've chosen a broker, they will register you with DBPR and your license will become active.
