Becoming a Florida Real Estate Broker is more than earning a new license—it’s opening the door to greater opportunities, increased earning potential, and expanded leadership within the real estate industry.

Whether your goal is to open your own brokerage, lead a team, manage agents, invest in real estate, or simply elevate your professional expertise, the first step is completing Florida’s required 72-Hour Broker Pre-Licensing Course.

At First Coast School of Real Estate, we believe your broker education should prepare you for real-world success—not just help you pass the state exam.

Why Become a Florida Real Estate Broker?

For many experienced Sales Associates, becoming a broker is the natural next step in their career. A broker’s license offers opportunities that simply aren’t available with a sales associate license, including:

• Opening and operating your own brokerage
• Supervising and mentoring other real estate agents
• Building and leading successful real estate teams
• Expanding into real estate investing and property management
• Increasing your earning potential
• Growing your credibility and professional expertise

Florida requires eligible Sales Associates to complete a 72-hour Broker Pre-Licensing Course before taking the Florida Broker Licensing Exam.

Learn More Than What’s on the Test

Passing the Broker Exam is important—but becoming a successful broker requires much more.

Our live course provides practical instruction on topics including:

• Brokerage operations and management
• Advanced real estate law
• Business planning and financial management
• Real estate investment analysis
• Risk management and liability reduction
• Professional ethics
• Leadership and team development
• Office policies and compliance
• Market analysis and business growth strategies

Throughout the course, students participate in discussions based on real-world brokerage experiences, helping bridge the gap between classroom concepts and everyday business decisions.

Learn From Industry Leaders

Your instructors, Amanda Houser and Rory Dubin, bring decades of combined experience in brokerage leadership, real estate education, sales, and business development.

Their engaging teaching style combines comprehensive exam preparation with practical knowledge gained through years of helping clients, mentoring agents, managing transactions, and navigating today’s ever-changing real estate market.

Whether your goal is to own a brokerage or simply become a stronger real estate professional, you’ll leave with knowledge that extends far beyond the licensing exam.
