Without a license, Jake once helped a neighbor find a buyer for her lot in exchange for a $1,000 "thank-you" payment she promised him. He says one deal cannot make him a broker. Under s. 475.01, F.S., is he right?

  1. AYes; the definition reaches only people who advertise to the general public
  2. BNo; a single such act for compensation brings a person within the law
  3. CNo, but only because his payment was more than $50 for the one transaction
  4. DYes; a person must close at least three deals in 12 months to be a broker
Show answer and explanation
📋 What this tests Real Estate Brokerage ✅ Correct answer: B A "broker" under s. 475.01(1)(a) includes a person who, for another and for compensation paid or promised, sells or negotiates the sale of real property or takes part in procuring buyers. Section 475.01(3) adds that a single such act is sufficient to bring a person within the chapter, and each prohibited act is a separate offense. ❌ Why other options are wrong - A: Advertising or holding out is only one of the listed acts; procuring a buyer for compensation is also covered. - C: The $50 figure is a narrow exemption for apartment-tenant finder's fees (s. 475.011(13)); any compensation for these acts is enough. - D: There is no minimum number of transactions; the statute says a single act is sufficient. 💡 Sources - s. 475.01(3), F.S. (Florida Statutes Chapter 475): "A single such act is sufficient to bring a person within the meaning of this chapter, and each act, if prohibited herein, constitutes a separate offense." - s. 475.01(1)(a), F.S. (Florida Statutes Chapter 475): "“Broker” means a person who, for another, and for a compensation or valuable consideration directly or indirectly paid or promised"

A Florida sales associate is completing continuing education for a renewal period after the first renewal. She takes the 3-hour Core Law course and the 3-hour Business Ethics course once each. Under FREC rules, at least how many hours of specialty courses must she also complete?

  1. A8 hours
  2. B11 hours
  3. C6 hours
  4. D14 hours
Show answer and explanation
📋 What this tests Continuing Education ✅ Correct answer: A Rule 61J2-3.009 requires 14 hours of continuing education per renewal period (after the first). Completing the Core Law and Business Ethics courses gives 6 hours of credit toward the 14, and the specialty course hours must total at least 8 hours. ❌ Why other options are wrong - B: This subtracts only the 3-hour Core Law course from 14; the Business Ethics course also counts, giving 6 hours of credit toward the 14. - C: Six hours is the credit she already earns from Core Law plus Business Ethics, not the specialty hours still owed. - D: The 14 hours is the total requirement; the Core Law and Business Ethics hours count toward it. 💡 Sources - Rule 61J2-3.009(2)(b), F.A.C. (FREC Law Book): "Licensees who complete the Core Law course and Business Ethics course will receive 6 hours credit toward the 14 hour requirement. The “specialty” course hours must total at least 8 hours."

  2. BBy the DBPR secretary, subject to Senate confirmation, for 4-year terms
  3. CBy the Governor, subject to Senate confirmation, for 4-year terms
  4. DBy the Governor, subject to Senate confirmation, for 2-year terms
Show answer and explanation
📋 What this tests Florida Real Estate Commission ✅ Correct answer: C Section 475.02 creates the commission within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Its seven members are appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Senate, and serve 4-year terms. ❌ Why other options are wrong - A: Members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate; licensees do not elect them. - B: The Governor, not the department secretary, appoints commission members. - D: Members serve 4-year terms, not 2-year terms. 💡 Sources - s. 475.02(1), F.S. (Florida Statutes Chapter 475): "The commission shall consist of seven members who shall be appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Senate." - s. 475.02(1)-(2), F.S. (Florida Statutes Chapter 475): "The current members may complete their present terms unless removed for cause. (2) Members shall be appointed for 4-year terms."
