Which brokerage relationship in Florida is also known as a No Brokerage Relationship, used when a buyer or seller opts out of representation and is referred to as a customer?

• A. Single Agency
• B. No Brokerage Relationship
• C. Transaction Brokerage
• D. Designated Sales Associates

Answer: (B)

In Florida, how a broker represents you is defined by the brokerage relationship chosen. When a buyer or seller opts out of representation, the arrangement is called a No Brokerage Relationship, and the party is treated as a customer. In this setup there is no fiduciary or client relationship, so the broker can provide only limited assistance—things like showing property or facilitating the transaction—without advocating for the customer’s interests or keeping confidences.

This is distinct from being represented by a single agent (where a client has a fiduciary relationship with the broker) or a transaction broker (which provides limited representation to both parties in a neutral role). Designated Sales Associates is not a separate relationship type; it’s a way for a firm to have different licensees represent different parties within the same brokerage. So the No Brokerage Relationship best matches the description of opting out and being a customer.
