Broker Notice Form PDF Details

The Broker Notice form establishes the nature of the brokerage relationship during a real property transaction. It clarifies the scope of a licensee's representation, noting that licensees operating as transaction brokers are presumed to provide limited assistance to both buyers and sellers unless a single agent relationship is established in writing. This disclosure protects all parties by making clear what the licensee can and cannot do.

This notice states that real estate licensees lack specialized expertise in identifying physical or environmental hazards. Conditions such as asbestos, lead-based paint, and radon gas are less likely to be detected without testing by qualified inspectors. All buyers and tenants are advised to hire independent professionals before completing any transaction. Do not skip professional property inspections, even when working with experienced licensees.

Transaction brokers unless a single agent relationship has been established cannot guarantee the accuracy of information about a property's condition. The relationship is established through this written notice, which both parties must review carefully. Data from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) should not be the sole basis for real property decisions. Buyers and sellers who require fuller representation should ask their licensee about establishing a single-agent brokerage relationship. Florida law requires this disclosure in many transaction broker arrangements, and buyers and sellers benefit from understanding these distinctions before any transaction broker relationship is established.
