Which of the following statements accurately describes an exemption from Florida real estate licensure?

• A. Court appointees can be paid a commission
• B. Salaried employees exempt from licensure
• C. CPAs and attorneys must be licensed to prepare real estate forms
• D. All individuals performing real estate services must be licensed

Answer: (B)

Florida's real estate licensure rules include specific exemptions that let certain people perform real estate tasks without holding a license. A key example is salaried employees who work for a licensed real estate broker. Because they are paid a salary rather than a per-transaction commission and operate under the broker’s supervision, they can assist with real estate activities without needing their own license. The broker remains responsible for the licensed conduct and for ensuring compliance.

This explains why the statement that salaried employees are exempt from licensure is the best choice. The other scenarios either misstate how exemptions work or rely on exemptions that exist for lawyers and court-appointed roles rather than for ordinary employees.
