Property Management requirements in Florida

Must Florida property managers have a real estate broker's license?

A property manager needs a sales or broker license if the compensation is paid by commission, and handling rentals and leases for others, not personally owned properties.  There is not a "Property Manager" license or certificate.  Also, certain rental properties need a license through the Div. of Hotels and Restaurants.

Must Florida community association managers have a real estate broker's license?

NO. A broker's license is not required to manage community associations in Florida.

Florida Real Estate Broker Requirements

  • Must hold a current valid real estate sales associate license and complete 12 months real estate experience during the 5 year period before becoming licensed as a broker. 

  • Successfully complete a Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) approved pre-licensing course for brokers consisting of 72 classroom hours and covering the topics required by the FREC. The courses are valid for licensure purposes for two years after completion. 

  • Submit a completed Application, fingerprint card, and appropriate fee. Pass the Florida Real Estate Broker Examination with a grade of at least 75. 

  • Submit a completed RE 2050-1 form to activate the license, otherwise the license is issued in an inactive status. If you want to immediately begin working as a real estate broker, submit the completed RE 2050-1 form at the examination site. Otherwise, submit the RE 2050-1 form to the Division of Real Estate.

Successfully complete a FREC-approved post-licensing course for brokers consisting of at least 60 classroom hours prior to the expiration of the initial broker license.
