Compliance Snapshot (Florida)
State Requirements
Brokerage Relationship Disclosure (FS 475.278)
Florida presumes a Transaction Broker relationship unless otherwise established in writing. Under FS 475.278, Transaction Brokers provide limited representation: deal honestly and fairly, present offers, account for funds, use skill/care/diligence, and disclose known material facts. Transaction Brokers do not provide undivided fiduciary loyalty as a single agent would. If a customer previously signed a Single Agent agreement and wants to switch to Transaction Broker, Florida law requires a written 'Consent to Transition to Transaction Broker.' Because Meydomo begins as a Transaction Broker, no transition is needed.
Disclosure of Latent Defects (Johnson v. Davis)
Florida does not require a specific seller disclosure form by statute; however, under Florida case law (Johnson v. Davis) sellers have a duty to disclose to buyers any latent material defects that they know about and that are not readily observable. This means if a seller is aware of a hidden problem (e.g., a roof leak that isn't obvious), they must inform the buyer.
Radon Gas Warning Notice
Florida Statute §404.056(5) requires specific radon gas warning language to be included in real estate contracts. The statutory warning informs buyers that radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when accumulated in sufficient quantities, may present health risks. This warning must appear in the contract documents.
MLS Notices
MLS and Realtor Requirements
Florida properties are listed on regional MLS systems (such as Stellar MLS, Beaches MLS, etc.). A signed listing agreement is required by Florida real estate regulations before advertising a property (this includes MLS listing). MLS rules in Florida implement the Clear Cooperation policy (1 business day rule for public marketing) and require timely status updates (like marking a listing Pending when under contract). Photos are required (some MLSs require at least one exterior photo). The MLS will sanction listings that contain prohibited content (for instance, any remark violating Fair Housing or naming a protected group).
Federal Baseline
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
