Miami, Florida April 5, 2004 ??” Florida’s Online Real Estate Licensing Law has officially gone into effect. For the first time in history you can now obtain your Florida Real Estate License by completing your pre-license course online. Since the licensing law (chapter 475) went into effect in 1923, applicants were required to complete their pre-license course in person at an approved Florida Real Estate school in order to get a Florida Real Estate Sales Associate license.
After the new law was passed on July 1, 2002 the Florida Real Estate Commission became responsible for making the rules and setting policy to regulate this new way of learning and license qualification. The Florida Real Estate Commission has now given final approval in February 2004 so that students can now take their pre-license courses online and satisfy the educational prerequisite before applying to sit for the state of Florida Sales Associate Exams. (Post License and Broker courses will follow later this year)
In 2003 there were 55,191 applicants that applied to get their Real Estate Sales Associate License. According to Meg Shannon, Communications Director with the DBPR, ??????as the process becomes easier for the applicants, there is the possibility that there will be an increase in applications.??
