The Answer to Florida Real Estate Exam Brain Teaser
If you are reading this because of my video on You Tube, here is the answer. If you are reading this because of my previous post,"Florida Real Estate Math Another Brain Teaser", here is the answer.
If you take the $44,000 and subtract $6000 (the difference between house #1 and house #2), then subtract $10,000 (the difference between house # 1 and house #3) that will give you $28000. Are you with me? divide $28000 by 3. That gives you $9333.33. That is the price of house #1 Are you sure? Will you bet $31 that is the right answer?
$9333.33 first house
+ $15333.33 second house
+$19333.33 third house
=$43333.99
If this is too complicated, memorize the answer. It is amazing how many people make a 74 on the Florida real estate exam and only got nine out of ten on the math. If that student got ten out of ten, they would have passed. Watch my math videos on You Tube. Pass the Florida real estate exam.

Two things Every Real Estate Broker Can Do To Make More Moneey
If you want to make more money, recruit quality people.
When you recruit quality people, they make you money. Recruiting is to real estate brokers like listing houses is to sales people. It is critical to growth. If you intend to grow, you have to recruit new, quality agents.
There is only two kinds of agents; experienced and new real estate school graduates. All the experienced real estate agents were, at one time, new real estate school graduates. Wouldn't it have been easier to recruit them then? If you had,they would have been earning you money all this time. Some broker has been earning a share of their income.
Please read my blog post " Your Florida Real Estate Class for No Money". If that concept makes sense to you, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.
While you have Kathy on the phone, ask her about the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's secret list of every real estate license application in Florida. This list is available for certain people. In central Florida, there is only about three companies that call these people and offer them a job. The only ones that don't welcome that call are people that have already made plans to go to work for XYZ Realty. The rest of them are happy to hear from you. In fact, they are extremely complimented.
You can recruit these people. They will make you money.
Just yesterday, I received an email from a young man that attended my sales associate class. He made a 96 on my test at Climer School of Real Estate and two days later he passed the Florida real estate exam. My bet is that young man will make a nice living selling real estate in central Florida. Lately, my classes are full of sharp,smart,well educated experienced people. Link to my website and start recruiting these wonderful people. It is free. It will put money in your pocket. Check us out at www.climerrealestateschool.com

What I Learned At The Annual DBPR Real Estate Instructor's Seminar
The Florida Department of Business and Professionial Regulation held their Orlando session of the seven hour seminar that real estate instructor's have to take to renew their instructor's permit. Since my instructor's permit expires September 30th, I was there.
Unlicensed activity has gone up considerably. That was topic number one.
Topic number two was short sales. The Department of Business and Professionial Regulation teaches about short sales from a "here is how you are violating chapter 475" point of view. Chapter 475 requires licenses to be skillful, careful and diligent. You are NOT being diligent when you advise your customers that they do NOT need an attorney. Apparently lots of licensees are learning this the hard way.
Another legal problem that was mentioned by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation was not presenting ALL offers as required by chapter 475. Chapter 475 requires licensees to present all offers up until closing unless otherwise directed in writing by the seller. If it is your intent to not present all offers, you better get that directive in writing from the seller. The DBPR investigates all complaints.
Lots of licensees being fined because they don't have a expiration date on their written listing as required by chapter 475. Apparently, with short sales, many licensees are not putting expiration dates on their listings. This is clearly a violation of chapter 475. All written listings must have a expiration date.
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation suggests to us instructors that we notify everyone to check their expiration date on their Florida real estate license. Fifty per cent of all Florida licenses expire in September. Check yours. Right now would be a good time. Your expiration date is on your license or you can check it at the DBPR's website, www.myfloridalicense.com

The Florida Real Estate Commission Has A Deal For Military Personel
If a person is in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines,Coast Guard and is transferred to do active duty in Florida, the FREC has a deal for you. Maybe I should say for your spouse.
If a military person's spouse has a real estate license in any other state, the spouse can get a Florida real estate license instantly. The spouse does not have to go to real estate school or take a test. That is the good news. The bad news is that temporary real estate license expires in six months and can not be renewed.
The purpose of this law is to allow that military spouse to get started selling real estate in Florida with no career interruption. Get more details at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's website. That website is www.myfloridalicense.com .
If you still need help, call Kathy at 407 822 3926 or www.climerrealestateschool.com
