Florida law at a glance
- In Florida, a commission agreement generally is not enforceable unless the broker or sales associate was properly licensed when the services were performed (sections 475.41 and 475.42, Florida Statutes).
- The Commercial Real Estate Sales Commission Lien Act (sections 475.701 to 475.709) allows a broker to claim a lien in some commercial transactions if its requirements are met.
- Many commission disputes turn on the written listing or brokerage agreement and on which broker was the procuring cause of the sale.
