A showing agreement is a document sometimes used by Realtors in Florida to formalize their relationship with prospective buyers. Essentially, it is a prelude to a potential real estate transaction.
The listing agreement generally can be terminated if both sides agree or if you don't want to pursue the transaction, but you cannot unilaterally do it during the term to sell yourself or sell with another agent. I answered above. I want to make sure that the answer is 100% clear to you.
A listing agreement authorizes the broker to represent the seller and their property to third parties. The listing agreement is an employment contract rather than a real estate contract: The broker is hired to represent the seller, but no property is transferred between the two.
In order to form your professional association or professional corporation, you are required to file articles of incorporation. These articles will be filed with the Florida Division of Corporations and can be completed online or by mail.
The principal parties to the contract are the listing broker and the client. The client may be buyer, seller, landlord or tenant in the proposed transaction. Legally, the broker is the client's agent. The principal party on the other side of the transaction is a customer or a potential customer, called a prospect.
Duration: Exclusive buyer brokerage agreements usually have a longer duration compared to showing agreements. They can cover a specific period or even extend until a particular property is purchased. Scope: These agreements may specify the types of properties or locations the Realtor will help the buyer explore.
A business entity with an active Florida filing or registration may serve as a registered agent. An entity cannot serve as its own registered agent. However, an individual or principal associated with the business may serve as the registered agent. The registered agent must have a physical street address in Florida.
Florida law does not prohibit the CPOH for physicians, i.e., medical doctors and osteopathic physicians. Non-physicians can solely own a medical practice or jointly own a medical practice with physicians.
This point is absolutely non-negotiable: to serve as a Registered Agent in Florida, an individual or business is required to have a physical location in the state. A P.O. Box won't work for these purposes, nor will a private mail service or mailbox.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have a registered agent requirement. For LLCs and corporations operating in multiple states, a company must have a registered agent in its formation (domestic) state and in each foreign (non-domestic) state.
