Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Hold an active sales associate license for at least three years immediately preceding the application.
To qualify for a broker's license in Florida, a sales associate must have held an active sales associate license for at least 24 months out of the preceding five years. Six months is insufficient. The other options are not mandatory requirements.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A bachelor's degree is not a mandatory requirement for a Florida broker's license.
- C. This course is for sales associate first renewal, not for broker qualification.
- D. Florida residency is not a specific requirement for licensure, though applicants must provide a mailing address.
