Florida License Law

A Florida broker purchases a property for their own account using the same MLS access and market knowledge obtained as a licensee. Before entering into the purchase contract, the broker must:

ADisclose to the seller in writing that the buyer is a licensed real estate broker✓ Correct
BObtain FREC permission to purchase investment properties
CUse a separate non-licensed entity to avoid disclosure requirements
DDisclose their licensed status only if the seller asks

Explanation

Florida law requires licensees to disclose their licensed status in writing before entering into any contract to purchase property where they have a personal interest. The seller is entitled to know they are dealing with a licensed professional who has special knowledge and skill. This disclosure must occur before — not after — entering into the contract.
