How Long Does It Take to Transfer a Florida Real Estate License to a Referral Brokerage?

How long does the process take to move your Florida real estate license from your current brokerage to a referral-only brokerage?

For most agents, the transfer is completed within a few business days — sometimes faster. It's one of the simpler administrative processes in Florida real estate, and it doesn't require an exam, additional education, or approval from your current broker beyond the standard release.

Here's how it typically works:
