Florida Sales Pre License

About Course

This comprehensive prelicense course covers content that students need to know to pass the licensing exam. The modules introduce all aspects of the real estate industry, beginning with different areas and specialties, license law, and licensing requirements. We explore the common relationships and duties involved in providing real estate services, brokerage activities, and procedures. This course will also get into fair housing laws, property rights, title and deeds, and land descriptions.

Next, it is on to the world of contracts: contract types, contract elements, contract performance and termination. Residential mortgages are covered in depth as well as loan processing, servicing, and foreclosures. Students will learn all about closing, settlement, prorating, disclosures, and the major appraisal concepts and approaches. We wrap up with modules covering investments, taxes, and city planning and zoning.

Each module includes a glossary, activities, quizzes, and a practice lesson that integrates the information into practice problems and case studies to ensure comprehensive understanding.
