Selling Your Home in Florida
Whether you're downsizing an empty nest, or you've outgrown a starter home, selling your house or condo is complicated and has legal ramifications. Although the steps involved in selling a home are similar regardless of where you live, Florida's real estate laws and practices are unique in some respects.
Becoming familiar with the process early will help you avoid problems later. Here’s an overview of the basics—from working with a real estate agent to making legally-required disclosures to closing the deal.
Most people selling their home in Florida work with a licensed real estate broker or agent. A good real estate agent will help price your house, based on a comparative market analysis (or comps), accurately assessing the current values of similar homes in your area; effectively market your house to prospective buyers; and handle other tasks, such as reviewing house purchase documents and negotiating with buyers.

Before signing a listing agreement with any agent, get references from other home sellers and check customer reviews on sites like Zillow and Trulia.
Once you find a real estate agent you want to work with, you’ll sign a “listing agreement” giving the agent the right to market and handle the sale of your house. Most real estate agents use standard forms created by their local Board of Realtors. A listing agreement usually covers the following:
Making Real Estate Disclosures in Florida State law in Florida (Johnson v. Davis, 480 So.2d 625 (Fla. 1985)) requires sellers to disclose any facts or conditions about their property that have a substantial impact on the value of the property and that others cannot easily observe. To aid sellers in making all required disclosures, the Florida Association of Realtors offers a disclosure form, which includes details on the property, including:
In addition, if your house was built before 1978, you must comply with federal Title X disclosures regarding lead-based paint and hazards.
Working With a Lawyer: Unlike some states, Florida does not require that sellers involve a lawyer in the house-selling transaction. Even if it’s not required, you may decide to engage a lawyer at some point in the process—for example, to review the final contract or to assist with closing details. Or you may want a lawyer’s help drafting a lease agreement if you plan to rent the home back for an extended period of time after the house closing, or if problems show up on the title report such as a lien on your property. And if you are selling your home without a real estate agent (a “for sale by owner” or FSBO), it may be useful to hire an attorney to help with the legal paperwork.
