Question

A licensee has been issued a Final Order of the FREC, suspending his license. How long a time period is the maximum a suspension can last?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

The maximum period for which the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) can suspend a license is 10 years. A suspension is temporal (even though 10 years is a long time) but when the FREC revokes a license that is permanent.

The FREC can issue 3 types of penalties depending on the offense committed:

1. Administrative
2. Civil
3. Criminal
