Real Estate Licensing

[Jacques Edouard Dessejour Lapierre]

I want to get my real estate license but after some research I understand things aren't easy as it seems. I live in Florida, I mean I know that after getting my license I need to be under a broker I also know that there is the course i need to take and the state exam fees.

But what about those real estate membership fees? Are they mandatory? I only have money for the course and for the state exam.
