Agency

In Florida, a 'subagent' is created when:

AA sales associate works under a broker
BA listing broker cooperates with another broker and authorizes them to act as subagents of the seller✓ Correct
CA buyer hires a sales associate who works independently
DA transaction broker refers a buyer to another broker

Explanation

A subagency relationship is created when a listing broker authorizes a cooperating broker to represent the seller as a subagent. In subagency, the cooperating broker and their agents also represent the seller (not the buyer), even while working with the buyer. This traditional arrangement is less common today as buyer's agency and transaction brokerage have become more prevalent.
