Florida Statute 475
governs real estate licensees. Florida is a Transaction Broker
state. All licensees are required BY LAW to explain
to you YOUR RIGHTS on the
different
types of agency representation.
Ask Yourself this
simple question to help you determine if the agent you are considering
working with could be a "Transaction Broker":
Does the Agent
(or the company he/she works for) list property for sale?
If the answer to that
question is "YES", BE
CAREFUL!
Transaction Brokers can (and usually do) switch from Transaction Broker to
"Buyer's Agent" to "Seller's Agent", back to
Transaction Broker and on and on and on. It's confusing trying to
keep up with all the switching back and forth.
The purchase of a home
is the most expensive investment you will ever make and the paper work
alone gets very confusing and tedious. You don't need to work with a
real estate agent that is confusing also.
A Transaction Broker
can not
provide the following services for you:
1) Be an advocate for you
2) Negotiate price
3) Negotiate terms
4) Suggest offering price
5) Point out potential defects and/or problems
6) Provide information about the seller: motivation for selling,
price the paid for the property, how long the home has been on the
market, etc.
DO YOU WANT THESE
SERVICES?
Only an Exclusive Buyer's
Agent can GUARANTEE to provide these
services on ALL properties for sale in the
Multiple Listing Service (MLS), for sale by owner, and new construction.
