70% of Florida Real Estate Licensees HAVE NOT Renewed

REAL ESTATE LICENSE RENEWAL DEADLINE

We are quickly approaching March 31 and according to a recent report from the DBPR, nearly 70% of Florida real estate licensees with a March 31, 2012 renewal date HAVE NOT renewed their license. Remember that in order to renew your license, you not only have to pay your $85 renewal fee, but you must also complete your education requirement, whether it's Continuing Education or Post-License Education. If you are unsure if your license expires on March 31, just give us a call at (239) 344-7510 and we will look it up for you. - Brad Larson

Larson Educational Services graduate gives us a great review

Larson Educational Services

What a great letter from Dennis and Paula Schatz! Congratulations on passing your state exams on the FIRST TRY! We always appreciate feedback from our students.

By the way, it looks like Dennis had an error in his letter...it should say the broker requirement is 72 hours not "60 hours". I guess he had so much fun that time just flew by!
