The Real Estate industry in Florida is a fantastic career choice. However, there are some minimum qualifications as follows:

• You must to be 18 years of age. 
• You must have a Social Security number. 
• You must have a high school diploma or a GED. 
• You must be honest, truthful, trustworthy, and of good character.

1. Apply to the Florida DBPR

The DBPR in Tallahassee

www.myfloridalicense.com

www.myfloridalicense.com is the website for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation otherwise known as the DBPR. The DBPR has been charged by the Florida legislature to regulate and license businesses and professionals in the state of Florida. The purpose is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the general public and all consumers.


You must apply for your Florida Real Estate license, fill out the application thoroughly and completely, and pay the application fee. At the moment the application fee is $83.75.


There are some fee waivers for the following categories:

• Low income applicants, 
• Active military duty personnel and spouses, 
• Military veterans and spouses if they have been honorably discharged within the last five years. 

If you fall into one of these categories, you should research your options with the DBPR.


When you click on this website, you will then select:

• Apply or Manage My License, 
•  Then select Real Estate, 
•  Then select Apply for a License, 
•  Then select Real Estate Sales Associates, 
•  Then select Initial Application-Sales Associate License (Form RE 1).  

The Candidates Information Booklet published by the DBPR is a helpful resource as well.


One of the single most important things is to answer the background questions honestly. You must self-report if you have been convicted, found guilty, pled guilty, or pled nolo contendere (no contest) to anything other than a minor traffic violation. They are going to find out because of the results of your LiveScan fingerprints, which is the next section.

2. LiveScan Fingerprints

Federal and State Criminal Background Checks

You must have your fingerprints taken and processed by a live scan fingerprinting vendor.
When you make the decision to attend The Climer School of Real Estate, we have a live scan fingerprinting vendor on the second day of every class. Because we have such large classes, he gives our students a significant discount on the fee compared to other fingerprinting vendors. It will be around $70.


The fingerprinting vendor sends the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of investigation or the FBI, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or the FDLE. The FBI and the FDLE the run a federal and a state criminal background check on you. They send their reports to the DBPR in Tallahassee.


The fingerprinting vendor does not send your fingerprints to the DBPR in Tallahassee and they do not send them to you. The Florida Division of Real Estate or DRE personnel look at the way you answered your background questions on your application and then they look at your criminal background checks. They compare the two. They need to match, or you are in trouble. They will send you a letter and give me one chance to voluntarily report what you forgot to report. If you do not, you will probably receive a denial for your request for a Florida Real Estate license.



When everything matches up, you will receive your approval from the Florida Real Estate Commission (the FREC) through the state of Florida to register for your state exam at Pearson Vue and receive your Florida Real Estate license.

3. Mandatory 63 Hour Sales Associate Pre-License Class

The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in Florida.

The Best Real Estate School in Florida

You have to take a mandatory 63-hour pre-license class for your initial sales Associates Real Estate license. You may as well take it at the best Real Estate school in Florida.


Check out our reviews. We have around 1,500 Five Star reviews on Google, Facebook, and Yelp. There must be a reason for all of these powerful five-star reviews.


We teach our students what they need to know to pass the state exam. Other schools may claim that but all they do is read the book to you. At The Climer School of Real Estate, we don’t read the book to you we actually teach you what you need to know and how you need to know to beat the state exam. This is important because the failure rate on the Real Estate state exam is extremely high, around 60% combined.

The Real Estate State Exam Fail Rate is very high

We have campuses all over Central Florida and we are in the process of expanding statewide. We have multiple Real Estate Class formats including:

• our one-week format, 
• our two-week format, 
• our five-week format, 
• our eight-week night and evenings format, 
• our Online Video Enhanced Real Estate Class, 
• our Online Live Streaming Real Estate Class with a Live and Interactive Instructor and, 
• Spanish speaking Real Estate classes.

You really want to attend The Climer School of Real Estate. It will be the best professional decision you’ve ever made.

The Climer School of Real Estate has the Best Students

At the end of your 60-hour class is a three-hour class exam. You must pass our course final with at least a 70%. When you pass our class exam, we give you your course pass certificate. It has your name and information on it and my signature. You must present this to Pearson Vue before you will be allowed to enter and take your state exam.

4. State License Examination at Pearson Vue

Pearson Vue is the contract estate vendor or for regulated profession license examinations in Florida

When you receive your approval from the DBPR, you will be able to go on to the www.Pearsonvue.com website and schedule your state examination. There are Pearson Vue facilities all over the state of Florida. There are also Pearson Vue facilities across the entire country, even on military installations and some ships. You may take your Florida Real Estate license examination in any Pearson Vue facility in the world. The testing fee is $36.75, at the moment.


One of the reasons why you want to attend The Climer School of Real Estate is because you don’t want to have to take this exam more than once. Not only is an incredible relief to pass on your first try but this can become a very expensive exercise if you fail over and over again.


The only thing you’re allowed to bring in to your state examination are reading glasses and a calculator. You may bring a foreign language translation dictionary if you would like however it has to be a word-to-word foreign language translation dictionary only, no definitions, and no marks or notes in the book.


You are allowed 3 ½ hours for this test because although 100 questions will be scored the test has 103 questions. Three of the questions are experimental and are not scored. You are given extra half an hour due to these extra three questions. You must score at least a 75% to pass. If you fail, you will receive your score but if you pass all you know is that you passed. A 75 is as good as a 100.


Congratulations. As long as you take your mandatory post 45 licensing class before the end of your first renewal period, you never have to go through this exercise again.

You May Start Working On A Six-Figure Income The Very Next Day

What Do You Do Next?

You’re going to want to schedule your Post 45 class with The Climer School of Real Estate as soon as possible. Because if you don’t you are in danger of losing your license.


However, now the real fun begins. Once you pass your state exam and begin working for a broker, you will learn the information that you actually need to know to help you in your Real Estate career. This is when the real fun begins.
