It’s always interesting reviewing the search phrases that folks use on Google and Yahoo that ultimately get them to this site. The one that stands out most recently:

questions about florida property taxes paying in the rears

While it is a pain in the rear to pay property taxes, we actually pay them in ARREARS, meaning that they are usually paid after they are due. Property taxes are assessed as of January 1 of each year and are normally due and payable on November 1 of that year. They must be paid before April 1^st of the following year, and discounts are given for paying them early. The earlier they are paid, the bigger the discount.

So now that we have that cleared up, here are a few other interesting search phrases:

florida seller agent and buyer agent same

Florida does allow this type of representation. Many states allow “dual-agency”, in which a single agent can represent both parties in a real estate transaction. However Florida allows a “transaction brokerage” in which a single agent or single brokerage firm can work with both seller and buyer to facilitate the transaction. But neither party gets full representation. Can you see the conflict here? Many do not. The agent has to stay in the middle and provide a limited form of representation. Both parties must give up their right to single agency representation. Related Info

Don’t assume you’re seeing it all unless you are working with an agent who has access to the real MLS. Our MLS does not yet support a public side of the database.
