I am wary of the possibility that these agreements can limit my buying experience in a ton of ways. Few Examples: For Sale By Owner, VLS, Promptness of showings may be limited, delays in paperwork or offers. I believe in the motivation of commissions but with exclusivity to an individual agent the dynamic changes. I will be watching and waiting to hear of any experiences coming after new law takes effect on August 17 and moving forward. See you all as a neighbor in TV early 2025!

I will have moved to TV by Sept 8...in less than a month. My packed POD will be in storage in Ocala until I call for delivery of it.
After recovering for a couple days, I will be full-court press in home touring and buying mode. I will do it on my own, as I have several times in the past elsewhere, which works to both my favor and the sellers (one less agent to pay). I have my eye on 2 or 3 pre-owned currently on the market and have no intention of hiring a buy-side agent.
That's it. That's how I will do it.
