Disclosures apply to which representations when discussing single agency and nonrepresentation scenarios?

• A. Single Agency and Nonrepresentation
• B. Transaction Broker
• C. Nonresidential sales only
• D. All representations

Answer: (A)

In Florida, you must disclose your representation status to clients whenever you discuss how you represent them. The question focuses on two specific relationship types: single agency and nonrepresentation. In a single agency relationship, the licensee owes fiduciary duties to that client, so it’s essential to clearly disclose that the licensee represents that party. In a nonrepresentation (no brokerage relationship) situation, the licensee does not owe fiduciary duties to either party, but you still must disclose that there is no representation. This transparency helps buyers and sellers understand who is being represented and what duties apply, reducing confusion and potential misunderstandings.

Transaction broker arrangements have their own separate disclosure framework, so they’re not the focus of this particular question. Representation disclosures aren’t limited by property type (residential vs nonresidential); the emphasis here is on the relationship type rather than the kind of property.
