The Florida Real Estate Commission is responsible for overseeing the handling and distribution of every Florida real estate license. The Florida Real Estate Commission establishes the requirements for a Florida real estate license.
The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) is made up of seven committee members who meet monthly. The normal meeting for the Florida Real Estate Commission is usually on the third Wednesday of the month and the Tuesday immediately before it. Under Chapter 475, Part I of the Florida Statutes, the Florida Real Estate Commissions administers and enforces Florida real estate license law.
Florida real estate licenses are managed by the FREC, which is also empowered to pass rules which enable it to authorize its duties and responsibilities. The statutory authorization for the FREC to do so is contained in Chapter 61J2, of the Florida Administrative Code.
One of the requirements established by the FREC that is closely connected to obtaining a Florida real estate license is to complete a highly focused training course that is certified by the Florida Real Estate Commission.
The FREC is very concerned with identifying and punishing individuals who are attempting to practice real estate in the state without a Florida real estate license.
The Florida Real Estate Commission is part of the larger Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
