Real Estate Services...

The Florida Real Estate License Law identifies eight real estate-related activities referred to as real estate services that require a Florida real estate license. Real estate services include any real estate activity involving compensation for performing the service for another. Anyone who performs any of the real estate services for another person for compensation of any type must be licensed, unless specifically exempted by law. Compensation is defined as anything of value or a valuable consideration, directly or indirectly paid, promised, or expected to be paid or received.

To remember the eight services of real estate, the memory crutch (mnemonic) acronym A BAR SALE may be used, with the first letter of each service forming the memory aid.
