Carriage Hills Incon

Prospective Purchasers:

Florida Law requires ALL licensed REAL ESTATE agents establish a working relationship with each party to a REAL ESTATE transaction. This is a consumer protection and notification requirement. 

Attached to this letter is the required notice. There is nothing in Florida Laws that requires a buyer to be represented in a transaction. Absent any agreement for representation, however, agents must work in a non-representative relationship with purchasers.

We believe we can best serve you as a SINGLE AGENT FOR BUYER for properties not marketed by our firm. By law, WE MUST SWITCH TO A TRANSACTION STATUS when representing both Buyers and Sellers in a given transaction (our listing). This does not negate our duties of confidentiality and honesty to you.

There is NO COST to you to establish these relationships and they may be changed and/or cancelled for each specific transaction.

Please sign the attached form and return to CHR. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call.

We look forward to working with you to successfully fulfill your Real Estate needs.

Sincerely,

//Signed//
Jan P. Huyser, CRS, GRI
Vice President-Broker

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 brokerage 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.

TRANSACTION BROKER NOTICE

FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THAT REAL ESTATE LICENSEES OPERATING AS TRANSACTION BROKERS DISCLOSE TO BUYERS AND SELLERS THEIR ROLE AND DUTIES IN PROVIDING A LIMITED FORM OF REPRESENTATION.

As a transaction broker, Carriage Hills Realty, Inc. and its associates, provides to you a limited form of representation that includes the following duties:

  1. Dealing honestly and fairly;
  2. Accounting for all funds;
  3. Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction;
  4. Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyer;
  5. Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writing;
  6. Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party.  This limited confidentiality will prevent disclosure that the seller will accept a price less than the asking or listed price, that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer, of the motivation of any party for selling or buying property, that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered, or of any other information requested by a party to remain confidential; and
  7. Any additional duties that are entered into by this or by separate written agreement.

Limited representation means that a buyer or seller is not responsible for the acts of the licensee.  Additionally, parties are giving up their rights Limited representation means that a buyer or seller is not responsible for the acts of the licensee.  This aspect of limited representation allows a licensee to facilitate a real estate transaction by assisting both the buyer and the seller, but a licensee will not work to represent one party to the detriment of the other party when acting as a transaction broker to both parties.

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.

I agree that my agent may assume the role and duties of a transaction broker. (must be initialed or signed)
