Because laws governing the practice of real estate change, it’s important to stay on top of current requirements for state and federal laws to ensure compliance. Staying in compliance reduces liability and prevents you from incurring penalties including, but not limited to, the suspension or revocation of your license. Florida Core Law covers a variety of topics including updates and clarifications on FREC’s most current rules and regulations specific to your successful practice of real estate.

This course meets the three-hour Core Law requirement for all renewing Florida real estate licensees.

There’s a reason real estate agents often rank among the least trusted professionals in the U.S. But what can you do to improve the public’s perception?

Whether for a buyer or seller, the comparative market analysis, properly done, can mean several thousands extra dollars in their pockets, and can determine whether a deal can be struck at all.

Don’t be that licensee!

Technology is a tool. Used wisely, it can free up time usually spent on mundane tasks to allow licensees to work at a higher (and higher touch) level of client service. Used poorly, it can waste a lot of time better spent elsewhere and worse—alienate clients, and even put them and the licensee’s reputation—at risk.

Clients and prospective clients want their real estate professional to be accessible and tech-savvy on their behalf.  According to a National Association of REALTORS® real estate report, staying up to date on new platforms and systems will remain one of the biggest challenges for brokerages in the coming years.
