Agency Law in the State of Florida
When visiting any
real estate site and providing information of a personal nature, one should have an
understanding of the State's law governing Agency. (i.e. "who's working for
who") Especially since you may be communicating directly with an agent who is hired
by and working for the home seller (or an agent of the buyer if you happen to be a
seller). Note: You are now in the State of Florida, virtual or otherwise. Florida
law requires that;
PRIOR TO ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP: All licensees, must provide the following
disclosure, in writing, to all potential buyers and sellers before the showing of
property:
IMPORTANT NOTICE
FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THAT REAL ESTATE LICENSEES PROVIDE THIS NOTICE TO ALL POTENTIAL
SELLERS AND BUYERS OF REAL ESTATE.
You should not assume that any real estate broker or salesperson represents you
unless you agree to engage a real estate licensee in an authorized relationship, either as
a single agent or as a transaction broker. You are advised not to disclose any information
you want to be held in confidence until you make a decision on representation.
(The above is not meant to scare you nor make you paranoid, it's simply the law in the
State of Florida. If your not being given this notice by other agents they are breaking
the law and are not openly, willing and legally giving you notice of your rights as a
consumer). One might wonder why?
Florida's RE-Agency choices are: 1. No Agency (not wise)
2. Transaction Agency or,
3. Single Agency (usually your best choice because it includes total
Confidentiality. However, it's normally not an option from the "listing agent"
of a home if your a buyer). Agency is not assumed. You must request the type of
agency you desire with each broker/agent you encounter. You can have different types with
different agents. The form of Agency you select only dictates the ground rules of your
relationship with the real estate professionals you encounter. It should not be considered
a commitment to a "buyers (or sellers)" brokerage agreement for compensation.
