Real estate differs from one state to the next.

and apply to anyone buying real estate anywhere. These things are
also important to know before getting into a real estate

There are two relationships between buyers and
agents in Florida, Buyers Agents and Transactional Brokers. A

required to look for the best interests of the buyer. They must
tell the buyers everything about the real estate transaction and
follow any direction of the buyer. A transactional buyer does not
represent the buyer. They are there to sell real estate. They are
not required to tell the buyer everything about the transaction.
