1How many members serve on the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC)?

A.5 members

B.7 members

C.9 members

D.11 members

Explanation: FREC consists of 7 members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Four members must be licensed real estate brokers or salespeople who have held active licenses for at least 5 years, and two must be consumer (lay) members who are not and have never been real estate licensees. The remaining member can be either a licensee or consumer member.

2Under which state agency does the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) operate?

A.Florida Department of Financial Services

B.Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)

C.Florida Department of State

D.Florida Department of Economic Opportunity

Explanation: FREC operates under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The DBPR oversees professional licensing in Florida, including real estate, construction, and other regulated industries. The Department of Financial Services handles insurance and financial regulation, not real estate licensing.

3How many hours of pre-license education must a Florida sales associate candidate complete?

A.45 hours

B.63 hours

C.72 hours

D.90 hours

Explanation: Florida requires a 63-hour pre-license course for sales associate candidates before they can sit for the state licensing exam. The 72-hour course is the requirement for a broker pre-license course. The 45-hour figure is the post-licensing education requirement, not the pre-license requirement.

4What is the post-licensing education requirement for a newly licensed Florida sales associate?

A.14 hours within the first renewal period

B.28 hours within the first renewal period

C.45 hours within the first renewal period

D.63 hours within the first renewal period

Explanation: Newly licensed Florida sales associates must complete 45 hours of post-licensing education before their first license renewal. Failure to complete the post-licensing requirement results in the license becoming null and void, meaning the individual would need to retake the pre-license course and pass the state exam again. The 14-hour requirement applies to subsequent renewal periods as continuing education.

5How many hours of continuing education are required for Florida real estate license renewal every 2 years?

A.10 hours

B.14 hours, including 3 hours ethics and 3 hours core law

C.22 hours, including 6 hours ethics

D.28 hours, including 4 hours ethics and 4 hours law

Explanation: Florida requires 14 hours of continuing education (CE) every 2 years for license renewal. This must include 3 hours of ethics and 3 hours of core law (Florida Real Estate Commission core law update). The remaining 8 hours can be elective CE courses. These requirements apply to both sales associates and brokers after their initial post-licensing education is completed.

6To qualify for a Florida broker license, a sales associate must have how many months of active experience?

A.12 months within the preceding 5 years

B.24 months within the preceding 5 years

C.36 months within the preceding 5 years

D.48 months within the preceding 10 years

Explanation: A Florida sales associate must have at least 24 months (2 years) of active experience during the 5 years preceding application for a broker license. In addition, the candidate must complete a 72-hour broker pre-license course and pass the broker licensing exam. The experience must be under the supervision of a licensed broker.

7How many hours of pre-license education does a Florida broker candidate need to complete?

A.45 hours

B.63 hours

C.72 hours

D.90 hours

Explanation: Florida requires a 72-hour broker pre-license course before a candidate can sit for the broker exam. This is separate from the 63-hour sales associate pre-license course. The broker course covers topics such as brokerage operations, investment analysis, and more advanced real estate concepts beyond what is covered in the sales associate course.

8Which of the following is NOT a disciplinary action that FREC can impose on a licensee?

A.Reprimand

B.Administrative fine up to $5,000 per violation

C.Criminal imprisonment up to 5 years

D.License suspension or revocation

Explanation: FREC is an administrative body and can impose administrative penalties including citations, reprimands, fines up to $5,000 per violation, probation, suspension, and revocation of licenses. FREC cannot impose criminal penalties such as imprisonment. Criminal charges would be handled through the state court system by the State Attorney's office, not by FREC.

9A Florida real estate broker must register with DBPR as which of the following to operate a brokerage?

A.Only as a sole proprietor or corporation

B.As a sole proprietor, partnership, LLC, or corporation

C.Only as a corporation or LLC

D.As any business entity without specific registration requirements

Explanation: Under Florida law, a broker wishing to operate a brokerage must register with DBPR as a sole proprietor, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. Each business entity type has specific registration requirements. A broker cannot simply operate under any business structure without proper registration, as the DBPR must approve the brokerage entity.

10Under Florida's mutual recognition agreements, which statement is TRUE?

A.All U.S. states have mutual recognition agreements with Florida

B.Licensees from mutual recognition states can obtain a Florida license by passing a 40-question Florida-specific exam

C.Mutual recognition eliminates the need for any Florida examination

D.Mutual recognition only applies to broker licenses, not sales associates

Explanation: Florida has mutual recognition agreements with certain states. Under these agreements, a licensed real estate professional from a qualifying state can obtain a Florida license by passing a 40-question exam on Florida real estate law, rather than the full state exam. Mutual recognition does not apply to all states, and it does not eliminate the testing requirement entirely. It applies to both sales associates and brokers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the Florida real estate exam?

The FL exam has a 51% first-time pass rate with 41,900 annual candidates. It has 100 questions in 3h30m with a 75% passing score — higher than most states. FREC licensing law, escrow requirements, and homestead protections are heavily tested.

What is a transaction broker in Florida?

In Florida, the DEFAULT brokerage relationship is transaction broker — meaning the agent provides limited representation with NO fiduciary duty. This is different from most states. An agent must get written consent to act as a single agent (full fiduciary duty).

What is Save Our Homes in Florida?

Save Our Homes (SOH) caps the annual increase in assessed value of a homestead property to 3% or CPI, whichever is less. This benefit is portable — you can transfer up to $500,000 of accumulated SOH savings to a new homestead in FL.

Is radon disclosure required in Florida?

Yes, Florida requires radon gas disclosure in ALL real estate contracts. The disclosure informs buyers that radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause health risks, and recommends testing before purchase.
