Step 1 - Get Your Florida Real Estate License
Before you can join Miami REALTORS®, you need to be a licensed real estate agent in Florida. This is the essential first step to becoming part of the largest REALTORS® network in South Florida.
Here’s how to get started:
- Complete the 63-hour Florida pre-licensing course from an approved real estate school.
- Pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam.
- Apply for your Florida real estate license through the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR).
- Activate your license under a sponsoring broker, which is required before joining Miami REALTORS®.
Once your license is active, you’re ready for the next step: applying for Miami REALTORS® membership. This will unlock access to the MLS, networking opportunities, education, and tools to help you grow your real estate career.
Step 2: Apply for Membership with Miami REALTORS®
Once you have your active Florida real estate license and a sponsoring broker, you can officially apply to join Miami REALTORS®. The membership gives you access to the MLS, professional tools, networking events, and more.
Here’s how to apply:
