🏡 How to Apply for Your Florida Real Estate License — Everything You Need to Know

Starting your career in real estate begins with a simple step: applying for your Florida Real Estate License. The good news? You can apply entirely online, from the comfort of your home!


📲 Can I Apply for a Florida Real Estate License Online?

Yes! You have two options to submit your application for a Florida Sales Associate License:

💵 Application Fee: Only $39.37 (reduced from $62.75 thanks to HB 1091 signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, valid through 2025).
📌 Don’t forget to include any required supporting documents when submitting your application.


✅ Florida Real Estate License Requirements

To qualify for a real estate license in Florida, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old

  • Have a high school diploma or GED

  • Possess a valid Social Security number

  • Submit your state application through the Florida DBPR

  • Complete an approved 63-hour pre-licensing course

  • Pass your course final exam

  • Schedule and pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate State Exam

💡 Residency is NOT required — you do not need to live in Florida to obtain a license!


🔁 Florida Real Estate License Reciprocity

Florida has mutual recognition agreements with the following 10 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.

📌 To qualify for reciprocity:

  • You must not be a Florida resident at the time of application

  • You must pass the Florida Real Estate Law Exam at a Pearson VUE testing center

👨‍💼 Already Licensed in Another State?

If you’ve worked as a sales associate or broker for at least 2 of the last 5 years (and are not from a reciprocity state), you may be eligible to apply for a Florida broker’s license.
This requires completing a 72-hour Florida broker pre-license course and passing the 100-question broker state exam.
