In Florida, who typically selects the closing agent?

A is incorrect because while sellers may select closing agents in some southern Florida counties due to custom, this is not a statewide requirement or universal practice. The 'seller always' option represents an overgeneralization that doesn't account for Florida's regional variations.

B is incorrect because buyers don't universally select closing agents in Florida. While this may be common practice in northern Florida counties, it's not the standard statewide. This option incorrectly assumes a uniform practice that doesn't exist in Florida's diverse market.

D is incorrect because FREC (Florida Real Estate Commission) does not assign closing agents. This would represent an unnecessary government intervention in private transactions and doesn't align with Florida's market-driven customs for closing agent selection.
