Zillow just put out a report on what consumers want from their agents.  #1 on the list was “TRUST”.   Home Buyers want to TRUST their Real Estate Agent, but can they?  Can you trust your real estate agent?

 

In Florida to trust your real estate agent is a tall order, because Florida is a Transaction Broker state where every licensee is presumed to be a Transaction Broker that owe you the consumer…not much.

 

In Florida, a transaction brokers job is to pretend to represent both the buyer and seller and try to keep peace.  You know, kind of like a referee, who has to stay neutral. No help, no taking sides or no one to really trust.  How can your trust your real estate agent if they really don’ t represent you?

 

When a licensee is a transaction broker they offer  NO FIDUCIARY DUTIES…no loyalty, no confidentiality, no full disclosure…for either buyer or seller.  So how can you trust your real estate agent if they don’t promise you anything?   Florida does not even use the word “agent” in the same sentence with Transaction Broker because that would mean the you actually have an “agent” advocating for you…and in Florida, that’s simply not true.  In order to fully  trust your real estate agent, they have to promise you loyalty, confidentiality, and full disclosure…the core of  being able to trust  your real estate agent.  Luckily for you, there are other choices:

 

SO WHAT REAL ESTATE AGENT CAN YOU TRUST?
