Florida Realtors® History
How long has Florida Realtors® been around? 2012 marks our 96th anniversary!

In 1916, 68 real estate brokers from 16 Florida communities gathered in Jacksonville for the first convention. That first meeting marked the beginning of a vision and an ongoing mission to serve the Realtors® of Florida and the people who make their home in the Sunshine State. Realtors brought order, fairness and professionalism to the real estate business in Florida. Since that humble beginning, thousands and thousands of Realtors have helped millions of Floridians achieve the American Dream of homeownership.

Today, Florida Realtors® members and the management team are busier than ever, protecting private property rights and keeping a very close eye on some 3,600 pieces of legislation each year that have a potentially huge impact on the property owners of Florida.
