In Florida, pretty much all Real Estate Agents are “Transaction Brokers.” They don’t represent you, the Buyer, nor the Seller. They have no fiduciary responsibility to anyone, they just put together the transaction. It doesn’t matter what they say or even what they put in writing to you. The Sales Contract that you signed to buy the house even spells that out in bold print, you indemnify and hold them harmless. In Florida it is “Caveat Emptor” or Buyer Beware on all properties sold. Find a good contractor to fix and good luck!
