Getting your Florida real estate license
The whole path in plain English — the education, the exam, and the activation. No phone call required to find out what it costs.
63 hours required*
In development · DBPR approval pending
At 63 hours, Florida sits close to the 81-hour national average, ranking 33 of 51 jurisdictions by required classroom time.
Florida is our second launch state
Our full 63-hour Sales Associate course follows the FREC I syllabus, and the provider application to the DBPR is in preparation. Florida asks for 70% or better on the end-of-course exam, and your completion certificate stays valid for two years after you finish.
What Cornerpost will offer here
Exam prep needs no state approval anywhere, so Florida is covered the day it opens — mock exams in real exam mode, an explanation on every question, and a review deck built from whatever you miss. It is not on sale yet. The free demo, though, is open right now.
The four steps in Florida
-
Meet the basic requirements
Age, residency, and background requirements are set by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), through the DBPR. Most applicants must be at least 18 and complete a background disclosure.
-
Complete 63 hours* of approved pre-licensing education
This is the course we are building. Until it is approved you will need an approved provider, and our exam prep is designed to run alongside whichever one you choose.
-
Pass the Florida licensing exam
A national portion plus the Florida law portion, taken at the state's approved testing provider. Our exam prep drills both halves in real exam mode and rebuilds a review deck from every question you miss.
-
Activate the license
Submit your application to the state, pay the license fee, and affiliate with a sponsoring or managing broker before you start practicing.
What it typically costs
Three separate costs: your pre-licensing education (varies by provider), the exam fee, and the state's application and license fees. Our own pricing is published rather than quoted — exam prep at a planned $99, and pre-licensing priced per state as each one earns approval.
Before you rely on any of this
*The 63-hour figure is illustrative as of July 2026. States revise their requirements, and only the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), through the DBPR can tell you what is required today. Confirm with them before you enroll anywhere — including with us.
