Are you ready to trade the 9-to-5 grind for a career with unlimited earning potential and a flexible schedule? At the Florida Academy of Real Estate, we believe that starting your new professional journey shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle.
Whether you are in Jupiter, Boca Raton, or anywhere in the Sunshine State, here is your straightforward guide to launching your real estate career in 2026.
Step 1: Meet the Basic Requirements
Before you dive into the coursework, ensure you meet the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) criteria:
- Age: You must be at least 18 years old.
- Education: A high school diploma or its equivalent is required.
- Legal: You must have a Social Security number and be honest on your application regarding any criminal history.
Step 2: Complete Your Pre-Licensing Education
The state of Florida requires all Sales Associate candidates to complete a 63-hour Pre-Licensing course (often called FREC I).
At our Academy, we offer this in two ways to fit your life:
- 24/7 Online Access: Perfect for self-paced learners who want to study anytime, anywhere.
- Classroom Training: Join us in Jupiter or Boca Raton for a friendly, casual atmosphere led by expert instructors like Don Dillon, who has over 28 years of industry experience.
Step 3: Pass Your Course Exam
Once you finish your 63 hours, you’ll take a final exam with us. Don’t sweat it—our instructors focus on straightforward instruction designed to help you pass the first time. We even provide targeted Exam Prep and math videos to help you “crush” the material.
Step 4: The State Exam and Beyond
After passing our course, you’ll apply for the Florida State Real Estate Exam. Once you pass that, congratulations—you are officially a licensed Florida Real Estate Sales Associate!
