FREC (Florida Real Estate Commission)
The seven-member commission inside DBPR that adopts real estate rules, issues and revokes licenses, and disciplines licensees.
The Florida Real Estate Commission is a seven-member body that operates under the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, and they serve four-year terms. Four members must be licensed brokers, one must be a licensed broker or sales associate, and two must be consumer members who are not and never have been real estate licensees.
FREC adopts administrative rules that implement Chapter 475, issues and renews licenses, approves prelicense and continuing education courses, and disciplines licensees through fines, suspension, revocation, and probation. FREC does not write statutes; the Florida Legislature does that.
