Broker Requirements

State Of Florida Requirements
Out of State Licensees Florida has "mutual recognition" agreements with other states. If you are licensed in CT, GA, OK, MS, NE, IN, TN, AR or AL, and are not a Florida resident, you may be eligible to receive a license through mutual recognition.

Your Real Estate Career

Real estate is an exciting career that can provide many benefits such as flexibility, independence, and long term growth in addition to earning an excellent living. A real estate license can lead to careers in residential and commercial real estate, business brokerage, vacation ownership (timeshare), leasing, rentals, and a variety of other areas. While many professions require an advanced degree, real estate does not. In fact, no college degree is required. Accordingly, real estate is a top career choice for many people who do not have a college degree and don’t want to take the time to go back to school to obtain one. Sales Associate Requirements

Obtaining a broker license is a four step process.

Step 1: Submit a state application. The application can be obtained from any Gold Coast location. The applicant must be at least 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or equivalency and have a social security number. Questions must be answered regarding any criminal background, and licensing history for any professional licenses. An application fee is also required. The applicant must have been an active Sales Associate for at least 24 months within the past 5 years, with a Broker, or approved government agency. Note: If the applicant is licensed in a state other than Florida, he or she must obtain a history letter from the state or province that he or she is licensed in. The license history letter must state: 1) Applicant's name, employer, business and residence address. 2) Must indicate applicant's license was held active for at least twenty four months within the preceding five years. 3) Type of real estate license held by the applicant and the real estate license number. 4) Date of licensure and expiration date of real estate license. 5) Complete record of any disciplinary action.

Please visit the Division of Real Estate website http://www.myflorida.com, or Gold Coast for more detailed information.

Distance Education Courses

All state required Real Estate pre-license, post-license, and continuing education courses are available online. Students who have a fast internet connection and those who want to study from multiple computers will find the internet courses to be beneficial. Students often ask, “Which is better, classroom or distance learning?” Real Estate is a people business. In our opinion nothing beats a quality classroom course. Distance education courses can be very convenient as they are completed at the student’s own pace, but they typically require a high degree of self-motivation and discipline in order to complete. The content is the same for classroom, and online courses. To view a complete listing of all distance education courses offered, please visit our online learning center at www.goldcoastschools.com.

CAM

NOTE: Community Association Management businesses (CAB) are now required to be licensed by the DBPR. Go to the DBPR website for more information. The CAM license only applies to “Residential Community Associations", including condominiums, cooperatives, timeshare plans, homeowners' associations, and Mobile Home Associates. It does not apply to the management of commercial properties such as apartment complexes, shopping centers, office buildings, etc. The law may require you to have a Real Estate license to manage commercial properties depending on what you do and how you are compensated. Do I need the CAM license to manage commercial property?

Individuals who perform "management services" for a residential community association, or associations, with more than 10 units or an annual budget, or budgets, of more than $100,000, for compensation, which ever is less, must be licensed as Community Association Managers. "Management services" includes controlling or disbursing funds, preparing budgets or other financial documents, assisting in the noticing or conducting of meetings, coordinating maintenance, and other day-to-day services involved with the operation of a community association. A person who performs clerical or maintenance functions under the direct supervision and control of a licensed manager and who does not assist in providing any management services does not need a CAM license. A person performing these services without compensation, such as a board member or officer need not be licensed.

Who needs a CAM license?

CAM stands for Community Association Manager. Community Association Managers are licensed by the State of Florida and regulated by the Council of Community Association Managers.

Frequently Asked Questions about the CAM License
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, high school graduates, and be of good moral character. There is a link on our website at www.goldcoastschools.com to request an application online from the DBPR or come in and pick one up from any of our offices. Applicants must submit the completed application, along with electronic fingerprints, and proof of completion for the 18 hour prelicense class with the application.

Gold Coast offers pre-licensing classes in 5 locations from Doral to Lantana. The time it takes to process the state application and to be scheduled for the state examination can vary. An applicant cannot be approved to take the examination until the applicant provides proof of completion of the 18 hour pre-licensure education. The State completes a comprehensive background check, conducted by the FDLE and the FBI. Expect a minimum of 14-90 days processing by these law enforcement agencies, although it could take longer. It helps to make sure that your application is complete, accurate and truthful when you submit it. Can I review the class? As long as space is available, Gold Coast allows all CAM students to review the class for up to one year at no additional charge. How do I get a CAM license?

How long does it take to get scheduled for the state examination?

State Of Florida Requirements
Licensing Requirements: The basic license requirements are:

With mortgage rates at historic lows, and the real estate market in recovery, now may be a great time to consider the mortgage business. The first step is to become licensed as a Mortgage Loan Originator. MLOs have opportunities to originate FHA loan products, conforming loans, hard money loans, and others.

Overview

To become licensed as a MLO in Florida, applicants must successfully complete 20 hours of pre-license education courses, submit a complete application including required fees, submit fingerprints to the NMLS for a state and federal background check, and provide authorization for NMLS to obtain an independent credit report. The SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Exam is divided into two sections: the national component and the Florida state-specific component.

The Florida MLO license is required for an individual who, directly or indirectly, solicits or offers to solicit a mortgage loan, accepts or offers to accept an application for a mortgage loan, negotiates or offers to negotiate the terms or conditions of a new or existing mortgage loan on behalf of a borrower or lender, processes a mortgage loan application, or negotiates or offers to negotiate the sale of an existing mortgage loan to a non-institutional investor for compensation or gain. The term includes the activities of a loan originator as defined by the federal SAFE Act.

Apply to the NMLS for your Unique ID number. Successfully complete 20 hours of NMLS approved pre-license education. Apply for licensure and pay the applicable fees through the NMLS website Pass the NMLS National MLO exam. Pass the Florida state law exam.

The NMLS call center is available at 240-386-4444 to answer any of your questions concerning the application process.

For more information on the requirements for licensure, obtaining your unique id number, applying for the exams, applying for the license, please visit the NMLS website at http://mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org

Insurance Overview & State Requirements

2012

To sell insurance you must have the appropriate license. In the insurance industry there are many types of licenses for various types of products. For most people entering the business there are two important licenses: “Life, Health, & Variable Annuity (2-15)” and “General Lines: Property & Casualty (2-20).” These licenses each allow you to sell a wide range of different insurance products. There are also a number of licenses which allow you to sell narrower categories of insurance, such as “Life only” or “Health only”. Gold Coast School of Insurance, in conjunction with the Professional Agents, Brokers, and Companies Association (FLDFS #753), is here to help you obtain your license. We offer the required courses to get your license, and we offer a number of continuing education courses to help you stay in compliance once you have your license. State Exam Requirements Summary

Insurance is a professional industry which allows you to be in control of your own future. As an insurance agent, you will be responsible for helping individuals, families, and businesses select insurance policies to protect their health, lives, and property. Typically, agents sell one or more types of insurance, such as property and casualty, life, health, disability, and long term care insurance.

If you’re thinking about becoming an insurance agent, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn how you can join the ranks of successful insurance agents throughout the state!

Call 1-800-732-9140 and register for your pre-license class. Fill out an online application at www.myfloridacfo.com/agents.

7 steps to getting your license:

Approximately 2-3 weeks after your application is completed, including the application, fingerprints, fees, and course certificate, the Department will send you confirmation, confirming your eligibility to sit for the state exam. You must then call 888-204-6289 to schedule yourself for the state exam. (Insurance exams are given electronically at many locations throughout Florida, six days a week.)

After completing and passing your pre-license course, Gold Coast will electronically report your passing grade to the Department.

Call Pearson Vue at 888-204-6289 to register and pay for electronic fingerprinting or go online to www.fldfs.com/agents.

Here is a summary of the procedures for obtaining your license:

Insurance agents in Florida are regulated by the Department of Financial Services, Office of Insurance Regulation. The Department’s website is www.myfloridacfo.com/agents. There is a wealth of information to look at on this site. You can verify the requirements, qualifications, and exam procedures for each insurance license that is offered in Florida.

Upon passing the exam you will be asked to print your license online.
Note: These procedures as listed are summary in nature. Please review the state requirements in detail on the FLDFS website www.myfloridacfo.com/agents.

Insu rance

Gold Coast, in conjunction with Professional Agents, Brokers, and Companies Association (FLDFS #753), is South Florida’s school of choice for Insurance Agent, Adjuster, and Customer Service Representative continuing education. At Gold Coast we strive to provide the best, most interesting, and timely courses possible. Many people wait until the last minute to complete their classes. Why put your livelihood at risk? Complete your CE requirements now! We offer both in-class and online courses. Every individual is responsible for completing their own continuing education on time. Generally, all agents must complete 24 hours of approved continuing education by the end of their birth month, every two years. Individuals who hold a major lines license and who have been licensed in Florida for six years or more as of the first day of their compliance period, qualify for a reduction from 24 hours to 20 hours of Intermediate or Advanced level continuing education courses every two years. All Gold Coast insurance continuing education classes are intermediate.

Ag & Adjuster ent Insurance Continuing Education

Gold Coast will do everything we can to assist you in selecting courses, but it is your responsibility to enroll in the correct subjects and hours to comply with the Florida requirements, including the new Ethics requirement. DFS rules prohibit receiving CE credit for the exact same course taken a second time within thirty-six months of the first attendance. The no repeat rule does not apply to the topic but rather the specific DFS course reference number. To check your status and verify your individual CE requirements, please check with the Florida Department of Financial Services at www.myfloridacfo.com/agents. The CE laws are complex. Ignorance or disregard of the laws could result in fines and/or the loss of your license. Online Courses

All Adjusters in the State of Florida (Fl. Statues Sec. 626.689) are now required to complete 24 hours of continuing education courses every 2 years. The requirement includes 2 hours ethics, 10 hours law, and the remaining 12 hours optional. Insurance Adjusters must take adjuster classes, not agent classes. It is your responsibility to take classes that meet your legal requirements. INSURANCE ADJUSTER Continuing Education Schedule

State Licensed Contractors’ Qualifications Contractors in Florida are regulated by Florida Statute 489 and administered by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. This law creates two types of contractors, County Licensed Contractors (Registered) and State Licensed Contractors (Certified). Most applicants turn to the state license to maximize their opportunities in the field. The qualifications for state licensure vary by category, but as a general statement, require that an applicant be over 18, of good moral character, and have 4 years proven experience in his or her field, or a proper combination of education and experience. A three part comprehensive examination must be passed, including Business and Finance (part one) and Technical Competency (parts two and three). Opportunities There are many other construction related activities and opportunities available that we have programs for. Call one of our career counselors and find out how we can assist you.

State Of Florida Requirements

Unas palabras a nuestros amigos de habla hispana Nosotros hemos agregado unas cuantas clases en español y seran enseñadas por licenciados profesionales para ayudarle y darle el empuje necesario para triunfar. Por favor dejenos saber sobre otros programas que puedan ser de su interes. Aunque el examen de estado se dé en Inglés y Español, el estado de la Florida requiere que los libros de referencia y los materiales de Gold Coast, incluyendo los DVD, estén en inglés solamente.

A detailed explanation of qualifications for both State Licensed Contractors and Inspectors can be found at their respective Board’s websites. For more information, or to register, call one of our career counselors at 1-800-732-9140.

The Licensed Standard Inspector is one of the licensed inspector categories and is regulated by F.S. 468 which defines requirements and is administered by the Building Code Administrators’ and Inspectors’ Board. The Standard Inspector can inspect homes and buildings for structural compliance with the Florida Building Code. As a general statement, these individuals must meet age and character qualifications and have at least 5 years experience as a contractor or inspector of structural building systems. A two part comprehensive examination must be passed, including Florida Laws and Rules (Part I) and Code Technical Competency (Part II). Additionally, the Standard Plans Examinor Exam Prep Course is now available.

State Licensed Inspectors’ Qualifications The types of inspectors generally recognized by the public are the Home Inspector and the Licensed Building Inspector (the Standard Inspector or Municipal Code Enforcement Inspector). The Home Inspector has been a licensed category since July 1, 2010 along with Mold Related Services (Mold Assessor & Mold Remediator). Any person performing or holding themselves out as a Residential Home Inspector must possess the Florida Home Inspector’s License. While there are some opportunities to grandfather into Home Inspection this license normally requires completion of a 120 hour pre-license course and passing an approved exam. For more information contact one of our career counselors.
