Question & Answer

A

Oral

Oral consent is insufficient because Florida law specifically requires written documentation for agency transitions. Verbal agreements don't provide the clear record needed to demonstrate the client's understanding and agreement to change their level of representation.

B

In writing

Correct Answer
C

Implied

Implied consent cannot be used for agency transitions in Florida. Agency relationship changes require explicit, affirmative consent rather than assuming agreement based on a client's actions or silence.

D

Notarized

Notarization is not required for consent to transition agency relationships in Florida. While some real estate documents require notarization, this specific consent only needs to be in writing to be valid.

Why is this correct?

Written consent is required because Florida law (specifically Chapter 475 of the Florida Statutes) mandates documentation for any change in agency status. This protects both the client and the broker by ensuring the client fully understands the reduced level of representation when transitioning from a single agent to a transaction broker relationship.
