Florida Real Estate License

[Bradley Kesselman]

I am thinking about getting a FL real estate license. I have a license in Texas and NY.

I'm assuming the process in FL is the same. Do the courses, take the exam, hang your license with a broker. A few questions I had: 1)Can I take the courses online (more affordable option) or do you need to actually go to a class?

2)How much is the MLS fee and other misc. fees to keep your license active?

Oh and I also did my 63 hour course online through a Groupon for Azure Tide All Florida Realty School. I didn’t love the program but I am used to online courses and didn’t need any additional materials to pass the test.

In terms of other costs, I paid $55ish for my background check/fingerprints at Pearson, $40ish for my exam fee with Pearson, and whatever the state charges for the application, which I cannot remember offhand but it’s publicly available through DBPR.
