What Is FREC and How Does It Affect Your Florida Real Estate License?
What is the Florida Real Estate Commission and what authority does it have over Florida real estate agents?
The Florida Real Estate Commission — known as FREC — is the state body responsible for establishing and enforcing the rules that govern every Florida real estate license. While the DBPR administers the licensing process, FREC sets the standards behind it — including continuing education requirements, ethical conduct rules, and the disciplinary framework that applies to every Florida-licensed agent and brokerage.
FREC Sets the Rules You Live By
Every Florida-licensed agent operates under rules established by FREC. The continuing education requirements you complete each renewal cycle — including the specific breakdown of Core Law, Ethics and Business Practices, and specialty education hours — are defined by FREC. The standards of conduct expected of every Florida real estate licensee are enforced by FREC. And when violations occur, FREC has the authority to impose disciplinary action ranging from fines and license suspension to permanent revocation.
For agents affiliated with CrossView Referral Realty, FREC compliance is built into the structure of the brokerage relationship. Staying current on CE, renewing on schedule, and maintaining a proper brokerage affiliation are the core requirements FREC expects — and CrossView Referral Realty is designed to make all three straightforward.
FREC and DBPR Work Together
FREC and the DBPR operate in tandem. FREC establishes the rules and standards. The DBPR enforces them and administers the licensing system. As a Florida-licensed agent, both agencies have a role in your professional life — which is why understanding each one matters.
