FAQ
Florida law doesn't give you an automatic “out,” but the contract itself usually spells out when and how you can back out. Most Florida contracts include an inspection period.
After you sign the offer, if the agent isn't fulfilling their duties, you may need to write a termination letter to officially end the relationship after you've tried to remedy the situation. Hopefully, you read the agreement carefully before you signed it and know the terms of termination.
The easiest way out is to sit down with the real estate brokerage the realtor works for and discuss breaking the agreement. Many reputable brokerages who wish to keep a favorable relationship with your business will agree to peaceful contract termination.
Most general agency agreements will specify the notice period for cancelling the agreement. The notice period is designed to give the agency the chance to conclude any introductions. There is nothing in the Act or the Code that specifies how long the notice period for the cancellation of a general agency should be.
Is it possible to exit the contract early? As standard, estate agents must give you 14 days from the date you entered the contract in which to change your mind, so if you're having doubts in the first two weeks, ending the contract should be quite straightforward.
Both parties have a “cooling off” period after agreeing to a contract where they are allowed to give notice of cancellation. The 3-day contract law Florida follows allows for 72 hours to cancel a contract under most circumstances. There are certain exceptions to this rule – such as the sale of a vehicle.
Because agency relationships are governed by contract law, if a principal or agent terminates the contract violating the agency agreement, either party may be liable for damages.
Grounds for rescission: To seek rescission of a contract, the party must have valid legal bases. Common grounds for rescission in Florida may include fraud, misrepresentation, mistake, duress, undue influence, or other factors that render the contract voidable.
Contact the agent and say that you wish to end your agreement. Optionally, you can explain the source of your displeasure. But the best way is to announce to the agent that you wish to end your agreement.
