BECOME A REALTOR
We can help you elevate your real estate career.
At NextHome First Coast, we’re here to support you on your journey to success. Our broker, Stephanie Sanalila, mentors agents through every step of the process of becoming a REALTOR®. To get you started, here’s a step-by-step guide:
PRE-LICENSE COURSE
Start by purchasing your 63-Hour Florida Pre-Licensing Course for Sales Associates. We recommend The CE Shop because their course is well-formatted and they offer both pre-license and continuing education courses.*
APPLY FOR YOUR LICENSE
While you’re working on your pre-licensing course, you can apply for your Florida Real Estate License. You can visit this Florida DBPR page to get more information about testing locations, requirements, and fees.
GET FINGERPRINTED
As part of your license application, you need to get fingerprinted. First, sign up at DTIS.com. Most UPS Store locations can accomodate this, but be sure to call ahead first and bring proper identification.
COMPLETE THE COURSE
Before you can proceed any further in becoming a REALTOR®, you’ll need to complete the 63-Hour Florida Pre-Licensing Course for Sales Associates.
PASS THE FLORIDA STATE EXAM
Now it’s time to chedule and pass your exam! The exam is administered at a physical testing site through Pearson Vue. (Locations exist throughout Florida, and online proctoring is now available.)
FIND A SPONSORING BROKER
Once you pass your exam, select a brokerage (hopefully NextHome First Coast!), sign up for the association (NEFAR) and MLS, and get lockboxes and other materials.
There are continuing education credits required as a licensed REALTOR, and many other things to learn as you go. But the first step is getting the pre-license course selected and started! Remember to pace yourself, and try to accomplish an hour or two a day. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to take the exam. Contact Stephanie for help or guidance as you progress through the pre-license course. She is always eager to help agents better understand the concepts in practice.

Our Owner
Meet Stephanie Sanalila
When I first started as a real estate agent, I was shocked and dismayed at the lack of support that I received from my broker, especially considering how much I was paying them in fees. As I grew in the industry and started my own brokerage, I vowed that I would support my agents with all of the tools and resources that I needed, but never got.
Honesty, integrity and effective systems are the cornerstones of my management philosophy. My agents depend on me for constant support, ongoing education, career guidance, and proprietary tools they can’t get anywhere else. My frequent community events – giving back is another passion of mine – give my agents a solid reputation to build from. I am constantly advertising or marketing an upcoming event, so my agents always have more to talk about with their clients than just a financial transaction.
Non-competing broker/owners will try to sell you on the fact that you won’t have to compete directly with them, but that’s not the benefit they think it is. As an owner/manager AND a producing agent, I’m not just building a brokerage. I spend my days in the same market space as my agents so that I always know what they’re going through. I know what’s happening, and I know how to react.
