How long does it take to get a Florida real estate license?
Florida requires a 63-hour pre-license course, a passing score on the state examination, electronic fingerprinting and an approved DBPR application. Most people finish the coursework in six to twelve weeks depending on the pace they choose. The paperwork and exam scheduling usually add two to four weeks on top.
What are the requirements to become a real estate sales associate in Florida?
You must be at least 18, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, have a United States Social Security number, complete the 63-hour pre-license course from a permitted Florida school, pass the state examination, and be fingerprinted. A criminal record does not automatically disqualify you, but it must be disclosed honestly on the application.

What is the 45-hour post-license course, and do I need it?
Every newly licensed Florida sales associate must complete a 45-hour post-license course before their first license renewal. If you miss that deadline the license is void and you begin again at the 63-hour pre-license course.
Do I have to attend live classes?
No. Live attendance is never required, and nothing about your enrollment, completion or certificate depends on it. Sessions are recorded. We encourage attending anyway, because the people in the room become your first professional network.
Where is the school located?
The Inspired Agent Academy is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, and serves the Tampa Bay area including Pinellas Park, Largo, Seminole, Clearwater and Kenneth City. Courses can be taken online from anywhere in Florida.
Can you guarantee I will pass the state exam?
No, and no Florida real estate school may. Any school that implies otherwise is telling you something about itself. What we can do is drill the material until it is boring, book your exam for when you are genuinely ready, and be honest with you about where you stand.
