Incorrect Information
Your information is totally incorrect. In the state of Florida the way it stands right now, most broker’s run as a transaction broker with nothing needing to be signed. We are definitely allowed to sell our own listings. We do not have dual agency in Florida. We have transaction broker agency. If we want to represent one party exclusively then we do have to get an agreement signed.

Without exception my goal was to find a price and terms that were satisfactory to both parties. I honestly do not ever recall a "bad" experience.

CONSENT TO TRANSITION TO TRANSACTION BROKER FLORIDA LAW ALLOWS REAL ESTATE LICENSEES WHO REPRESENT A BUYER OR SELLER AS A SINGLE AGENT TO CHANGE FROM A SINGLE AGENT RELATIONSHIP TO A TRANSACTION BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIP IN ORDER FOR THE LICENSEE TO ASSIST BOTH PARTIES IN A REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION BY PROVIDING A LIMITED FORM OF REPRESENTATION TO BOTH THE BUYER AND THE SELLER. THIS CHANGE IN RELATIONSHIP CANNOT OCCUR WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. Has this law changed? |

So, if I list my house for $400K with a 6 percent commission, you will represent both the buyer and the seller to get a "satisfactory" price, and then expect me, the seller, to pay you $24,000? There is no way I would ever agree to that. I expect the agent to represent me in negotiations and to get the highest reasonable price. I'm glad that Florida law doesn't allow that. If they did, I would sell my own house.
