Florida Buyer Broker 

#1 Mistake buyers make is to assume the sellers listing agent is also their buyers agent!

Buyers assume the person they contact about a property in Florida will represent them as their buyers agent.   Some sellers agents tell the buyers they will be their buyers agent then switch to a transaction associate.  The transaction associate does not represent the buyer or the seller exclusively.

Only a buyer broker or buyers agent can represent buyers exclusively in Florida. 

The buyer broker or  buyers agent must give the buyer a Single Agent Notice.  Only after this disclosure is made to the buyer in writing will the buyer be represented by the licensee. 

When no disclosure is made Florida law assumes the licensee will be a transaction associate.  Transaction associates do not represent the buyer or the seller exclusively.

Transaction Brokers and their associates can NEVER give the buyers undivided loyalty or confidentiality.

The buyers agent must give the buyers  9 fiduciary duties required by FL Statutes 457.278 for buyer brokers.

Buyer agents have liability in the real estate sale. 

Many large offices do not allow their associates to be buyer agents.   Large offices do not want the liability that goes with allowing their agents to work as buyer agents.  Transaction Brokers have limited liability. A Transaction broker and their associates never represent the buyers best interest exclusively. 

Because the buyer broker has liability in the real estate sale, they will be more diligent when working for the buyers best interest. 

The buyers agent is know as a Single Agent. 

In Florida a broker who represents the buyer OR the seller exclusively is called a  Single Agent.  A single agent can represent the buyer or the seller, but never both in the same transaction. 

The buyer broker or sellers broker must give the buyer or seller the Single Agent Notice, a  written disclosure.  They will only represent one side of the real estate sale, the buyer or the seller.

A Buyer Broker Agreement obligates the buyers to pay the broker any balance of commission the buyer broker does not receive from the shared commission offered by the seller’s agent to the buyer broker.  Commissions are ALWAYS negotiable, right to the actual day of closing. 

The seller and their listing agent decide on a percentage or amount to be offered as  commission to buyer agents.  

Builders and developers also pay the buyers agent commission.

When a buyer enters a contract for a new property, there is a place on the contract which states the buyer broker commission. 

Foreclosures, auctions and REO (real estate owned by banks) also offer to compensate buyer brokers for helping the buyers with their purchase.

Florida Buyer Broker  obtains the commission from the seller, the sellers agents, builders and developers to buyer brokers. 

Only a buyer broker who does not also list properties for sale, like Florida Buyer Broker  can assure the buyer they will negotiate for the lowest price and best terms for the buyer. The Florida Buyer Broker must keep the buyers financial status and motivation confidential.
