How to get a real estate license in Florida? Have you heard that Florida
is the number1 real estate market in the country right now? It is. Florida is one
of the hottest markets in the entire country and I'm going to tell you
exactly how you can get a real estate license and start making money in Florida. Let's go.
I'm going to provide you a detailed step-by-step on how to get a Florida real estate license
for as little money as possible. I'm going to share with you three insider tips on how to get
your real estate license quickly. And I'm going to tell you the biggest trap to avoid when getting a
real estate license in any state. So, let's talk about the real estate business. When it comes to
buying and selling real estate, you're probably familiar with real estate agents and what they
do. Some real estate agents will represent the buyer. Meaning, they will work for the buyer,
they will help them take them in their car, show them different properties and help the buyer find
a home that they want to buy. And when that buyer buys the home, that buyer's agent will receive
a commission. Usually paid by the seller. Also when it comes to real estate agents, we have the
seller side. The seller is represented by a real estate agent too in most cases. The seller will
find a real estate agent that will help them list their property. That agent will go to their home,
give them a presentation, tell them how much they can charge, what they do and they put a sign in
front of the house and they sell the house. So, in a typical real estate agent transaction, there's
usually 2 different agents. One that represents the buyer and one that represents the seller.
However, it's a little bit weird because in any case, most of the time, the seller is
the one that is paying both of those real estate agents' commission. So, when you sell your home,
most real estate agents will charge 6%. Now again, this is not across the board. But I'm just using
round numbers here. Generally speaking is 6%. Which means 3% will go to the seller's agent. The
one that represents the seller. And 3% will go to the buyer's agent. The person that represents the
buyer. So, again, this is how typical real estate agents get paid and this is how they work. Now,
as a real estate agent though, that 3% does not come directly to you. It goes to your broker.
Let me explain that part. So, like I said, real estate agents work for brokers. Meaning,
all of the different brokers that you may see, for example, you've seen RE/MAX, Keller Williams,
Century 21, EXP Realty for example. Which is the broker that I work for as a real estate agent.
Real estate agents must place their license with a real estate broker. And all of the transactions
are really through the broker. Meaning, the real estate agent is not paid directly. So,
remember when I said 3% will go to the seller's agent and 3% will go to the buyer's agent. Well,
really what I meant is the buyer and sellers broker not the agent. So, the broker. And then
the broker will pay the agent. So, for example, say, you sell a house and you get a 3% commission.
The house is $100,000, that's $3,000. But you work for Century 21... Just using that as an example.
Century 21 will get that $3,000 and then they will pay the real estate agent the difference. So,
if they split the commission with you 80/20, they take 20%, they'll give you 80. They may
split it with you 60/40 where they take 40 and you get 60. In some cases, you have to split at
50/50. Every broker is different. And this is something that people really do not understand.
Some brokers don't take any money at all. You have brokers that will pay you 100
of the commission and you just pay them a monthly fee in order to have your license with them.
It really all depends. But as a real estate agent, you really need to understand that you
are not ever going to get all of the commission. It's going to go to your broker and then you will
receive a portion of it. How much of that portion you get? Depends on the broker that you pick. So,
let's get into the fun part. Let's get you your license. So, let's talk about how you get your
license. The easiest way to get your license is really to just google what the requirements are.
So, in every single state you have to get a different real estate license.
Licensing is based on the state that you're in when it comes to real estate agents. So,
for example, I got my real estate license in 2006 when I lived in Georgia. But then when I moved to
Texas I had to get a Texas real estate license. And now that I'm in Florida, I have a Florida real
estate license. So, again, whatever state that you live in is where you have to be licensed in.
And you are not able to practice real estate in a state that you are not licensed in. For example,
if I'm not licensed in the state of Utah, I cannot go to Utah and represent buyers and sellers.
I have to get a real estate license in order to do so. So, Florida is a great state to get
a real estate license in because the real estate business here is awesome right now. It's been that
way for many years and the trends show that it is growing. So, the great thing about Florida is that
you can get your real estate license whether you live in the state of Florida or whether
you don't. They actually have a program called a non-residence license meaning if you're licensed
in another state depending on what state it is, they may have reciprocity and you may be able to
get your license in Florida while having a license in another state. It's awesome. Florida is one of
the few states that allows you to do this. There aren't very many. The great thing about Florida
also when we're talking about getting your license is the process is very easy. They have [???] right
now. When you look in the guidelines, you'll see that you need 63 hours of pre-licensing education.
Meaning, you need to go to real estate school, get a Florida real estate pre-licensing class and it
will be 63 hours. Not saying that you have to stay there for 63 hours straight. But it's 63 hours of
content that you must fulfill before you can even take the test to get your real estate license. So,
those classes are very inexpensive. And like I said, I was able to get my Florida license before
I even moved into the state of Florida because I was in Virginia and they have reciprocity with the
state of Virginia. If you think 63 hours is a lot, you should see what Texas is. In fact, it's 180
hours required in the state of texas before you can get your license. 180 hours versus 63? Man,
that's nearly double. But I've done both. So, just so you know, every state is different so check out
your state and see what it is. So, now that we've determined you can get a Florida license even if
you're not a resident of Florida and that is an awesome thing, please check and see if your state
has reciprocity with Florida. So, one of the great things about a Florida license is that it's very
inexpensive. One of the things I said of course is that the licensing requirements are not very high.
63 hours is not very many. I'm not saying that 63 hours of education isn't a lot. It is. But just
for comparison is much more in other states. So, that's what makes Florida's real estate
license so much easier to get than other states. Additionally, you can be licensed even if you're
not a resident of Florida. Another great thing and you'll find this to be absolutely amazing,
I have literally seen courses for your real estate license in the state of Florida
as low as $100. Meaning, you can go to real estate school and fulfill all of
the requirements and all of the education that you need for $100. This is absolutely amazing.
I've had students that have completed their real estate education in Florida in less than a week.
You can do the exact same thing too. So, as I mentioned to you before, I got my Florida real
estate license before I ever moved to the state of Florida. And if you want to start investing
