YOUR SARASOTA REAL ESTATE BUYER'S AGENT

My 22+ years of experience will be valuable to you as your Sarasota real estate buyer's agent.

In Florida, buyer's agents are transaction brokers by default, responsible for certain duties

  • Dealing honestly and fairly;

  • Accounting for all funds;

  • Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction;

  • Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and that are not readily observable to the buyer;

  • Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless directed to the licensee (Realtor/agent) by another party;

  • Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party.  This limited confidentiality prevents 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, 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;

  • Any additional duties that are mutually agreed to with a party.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need an attorney review?

​

Attorney review of Florida real estate contracts is not necessary.  Florida state contract forms and addenda are supplied by the Florida Association of Realtors (FAR), and are legally reviewed and approved for use.

​

Can an attorney perform the closing?

​

Yes.  Attorneys or title companies can perform the closing.  Either entity can hold escrow deposits.

​

Is there dual agency in Florida?

​

Technically, no.  By default, Florida Realtors are "transaction brokers".  See above for the duties of a transaction broker in Florida.
