We continue to see an increase in activity and demand both on our website and on the phones. We also just finished another Real Estate Career Night last night and had a very good showing. Many people are wondering what it takes to get a Florida Real Estate License and we explain the licensing process, the fees and expenses associated with getting a license, as well as talk about career opportunities available once someone gets a license.

The 5 Easy Steps to Get a Florida Real Estate License
Have you been thinking about getting a Florida Real Estate License but are unsure where to start? Maybe you’ve heard some of the horror stories circulating out there about bad instructors, dirty classrooms and students failing the Florida real estate exam over and over and over again.
Well I’m here to tell you that it does not need to be that way.
You can obtain your Florida Real Estate License in just a few steps and you can do it with the help of a professional, courteous, well-managed, family-owned education company that truly cares about your success at Larson Educational Services.
And we have lots of fun too!
Florida Real Estate License?
STEP 1: Submit Your License Application Package
Your License Application Package can be completed online at MyFloridaLicense.com. Click on “Apply For A License” and follow the directions. You need to be 18 years old and have a high school diploma or its equivalent to apply. On the application package you will share information about yourself and pay a fee of $105.
STEP 2: Register for Fingerprinting
Make a reservation – visit PearsonVUE and select “Fingerprint Reservation online,” or contact the customer support center at 1.888.274.2020. The fingerprinting fee is $57.25.
STEP 3: Attend Class
Completion of a 63-hour course is required to obtain your Florida Real Estate Sales Associate License. Students must attend the entire course and pass the final exam. We have Weekday, Evening and Weekend classes available in Fort Myers and Naples (and online courses coming soon). Our class tuition is $299. The class is completed in 8 days or 16 evenings.
STEP 4: Schedule the State License Exam
Upon approval of your application the testing service – PearsonVUE – is notified by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and they in turn notify you with instructions to schedule the license examination. You have two years to sit for the license examination. The exam fee is $31.50. We have excellent Exam Preparation courses and products to help you prepare for success on exam day.
STEP 5: Pass the Exam and Activate the License
Remember to bring two forms of identification with signatures (one must be a government-issued photo identification), the confirmation number provided when test registration was made, and the Course Completion Certificate from Larson Educational Services. To activate your license, your employing broker must sign and deliver FORM 2050 to the DBPR.

I just wanted to say a big “Thank You” to Charlie Caldwell at Internet Services Group of Florida for helping me out with our online marketing presence and continuing to take time to discuss ways Larson Educational Services can go after new students online.
The online marketing team at Larson has been working day and night, following the directions and guidelines given to them by Charlie for his “recipe for success”, and it has sure paid off.
LarsonEd.com is routinely seeing DOUBLE the number of daily visitors compared to just two months ago, and that has lead to more phone calls and more registrations. In fact, we currently have our largest real estate class, with 50% more students than any previous class we have held.
