Compare brokerages in South Florida

Official Florida DBPR figures for twelve brokerages, next to the terms each one publishes, what third parties report and what professionals say publicly. Every fact shows its source, the date we checked it and how well it is verified.

Our neutrality rule

No payment can change DeGouveia's comparison, the order of brokerages, any factual information or any professional's experience. DeGouveia does not share professionals' information with brokerages.

Three kinds of information

  • Published by the brokerage

    Terms, training and requirements the brokerage itself publishes, with the page we read and its date when it has one.

  • Third-party information

    Articles, comparisons and guides by others. Useful, but not confirmed by the brokerage. When sources disagree, we show every version and do not pick one.

  • Professionals' experiences

    Public comments by agents who work or worked there. They are opinions from public sources, not verified DBPR affiliations. National comments are kept apart from comments that show a Florida location.

Which describes you?

Optional. Your choice highlights facts to look at and may open the referral section first. It never hides, reorders or recommends brokerages.

Traditional brokerages

Brokerages where professionals list, sell and represent clients. Nine entities, in alphabetical order by DBPR name.

Referral brokerages

Companies where you hold your Florida license and earn referral fees. Three entities, in alphabetical order by DBPR name. The two categories are not compared with each other.

Referral brokerages let you place your Florida license with them and earn referral fees without listing or selling. You remain responsible for Florida's license requirements, such as renewal and continuing education. Compare what each company charges and what share of each referral fee you keep.

Experiences shared with De Gouveia

Professionals can share an experience inside each traditional brokerage. Each one is reviewed by hand before it appears, is published without the author's name and shows whether the author's DBPR affiliation was verified. Nothing is invented or seeded.

This version does not include individual experiences for referral brokerages.

Methodology and sources

DBPR figures
All figures come from the Florida DBPR registry as imported by De Gouveia. A professional counts when registered in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach, with a Current primary status, an Active secondary status and a broker, broker-sales or sales-associate rank, and when present in the latest completed import. Each is assigned to the employer license on the professional's DBPR record.
County
The county is the one on each professional's DBPR record, not the location of a brokerage office. Referral companies work with licensees across Florida; their figures count only the three counties above, so they say little about company size.
Recently licensed
Professionals whose original license date falls within 365 days before the import date and who are currently with the brokerage. DBPR has no affiliation start date, so this does not show who joined, was recruited or was hired, and it is not a measure of performance.
Status labels
Official record (DBPR) · Published by the brokerage · Third-party · Conflicting sources · Not publicly disclosed · Reported by professionals. Unknown is shown as unknown and never estimated.
Dates
Each fact shows the date we checked its source and the source's own date when it has one. A source older than 12 months, or with no date, should be confirmed with the brokerage. Terms change often.
Entities and brands
Each fact belongs to one DBPR employer license. Similarly named entities are named and never merged. National terms are labeled as national.
Order
Brokerages are listed alphabetically by DBPR name within each category. No count is emphasized, and nothing here is a ranking or a recommendation.

No payment can change DeGouveia's comparison, the order of brokerages, any factual information or any professional's experience. DeGouveia does not share professionals' information with brokerages.

Corrections

If a fact is wrong or out of date, write to realtor@degouveia.us. Anyone may ask for a correction, including brokerages.

This comparison does not estimate costs. Confirm every term with the brokerage before deciding.
