Q: I expect to get a listing soon for a 15-acre parcel of agricultural property. Do the "brokerage relationship" disclosure notices of section 475.278, Florida Statutes, have to be provided in this type of listing?
A: No. According to subsection 475.278 (5) (a), Florida Statutes, the real estate licensee disclosure requirements of section 475.278 apply to all “residential sales.” 475.278 defines residential sales to include the sale of agricultural property of 10 acres or fewer.
Therefore, the disclosure requirements do not apply to a transaction involving the sale of more than 10 acres of agricultural property.
