Multiple Listing Options for Sellers

New “Mandated” Form

Not exactly “New” but we are mandated to use it anyway.

“Waterfront Property With Ocean Access”

Please use this form with Waterfront Properties With Ocean Access.

If you are selling a Waterfront Property With Ocean Access, regardless of which side of the transaction you are on, use this form. This will protect all parties to the transaction. The seller, buyer, you, me, and LRE.

FREC Rule Amendment

FREC Rule 61J2-10.038(2) now reads as follows: Each licensee and permit holder is required to notify the department [of Business and Professional Regulations] in writing of their current mailing and e-mail address and any change in the current mailing or e-mail address within 10 days after the change. The first time failure to comply with this requirement shall result in the issuance of a Citation; second or subsequent violations will result in disciplinary proceedings against the licensee.

FYI, in everyone’s ICA, it states, if you do change your e-mail address, let us know. Our agents have been doing a good job of this. Kudos. Be sure to also update DBPR as needed.

FYI, NAR added Standard of Practice 10-5 to the Code of Ethics. Realtors® must not use harassing speech, hate speech, epithets, or slurs based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
