This Florida Broker Post-Licensing course satisfies the 60-hour post-licensing education requirement that every newly licensed Florida broker must complete before their first license renewal. It takes new brokers beyond what the broker licensing exam covers and into the operational, financial, supervisory and compliance skills needed to run a successful brokerage. Students will review seller and buyer representation under Florida’s brokerage relationship laws, including written buyer brokerage agreements and how compensation is negotiated since the 2024 NAR settlement. The course also covers seller and buyer disclosure obligations, including the Florida flood disclosure law and condominium milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) requirements.

In addition, the course covers advertising and marketing under Chapter 475 and FREC rules, fair housing in advertising, and telemarketing and email marketing laws. Students also learn property valuation through comparative market analysis, the three approaches to value, and appraisal standards. Students will explore the day-to-day administration of a brokerage, including transaction management, offers and contingencies, escrow handling, closings, independent contractor classification, errors and omissions insurance, record retention, and the budgeting and financial statements every broker should track.

Finally, the course focuses on leading and protecting the brokerage: recruiting and interviewing lawfully, onboarding and training agents, running productive sales meetings, and supervising transactions for compliance. Students will also study procuring cause and arbitration, Florida’s escrow dispute procedures, the Real Estate Recovery Fund, federal fair housing and ADA requirements, environmental hazard disclosures, the FinCEN residential real estate reporting rule, and recent NAR Code of Ethics changes. Practice exams and quizzes reinforce key concepts and help ensure students are prepared to complete their Florida broker post-licensing requirement and build a well-run, compliant brokerage.
