Being a Realtor® in Florida Gives You Access to Free Legal Advice


Every real estate transaction has its own identity and its own potential challenges.  As Realtors®, we know legal questions aren’t our area of expertise. Still, sometimes the question seems like it should have a convenient answer. Whether it is how to interpret the financing clause or the inspection contingency, the real estate world is never boring.  
 
Very few brokerages offer an attorney who can answer these transaction questions – so what is a Realtor to do?  Did you know Florida Realtors® offers a complimentary Legal Hotline that is part of your annual dues?  Yes! Florida Realtors has a LIVE call center with more than 10 attorneys, available Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 4:45 p.m., to answer legal questions related to the transaction. 
 
Florida Realtors provides many products, tools and services to its more than 225,000 members.  We answer more than 80,000 legal hotline questions each year.  From contracts to procuring cause to disclosure requirements and license law issues - Florida Realtors is your resource for help with legal questions.
 
The next time you have a question, please call 407-438-1409.  All you need is your license number to confirm your membership. 
 
Florida Realtors is proud to serve as your legal resource. In addition to the live call center, check out the Florida Realtors legal newsletter or online videos at floridarealtors.org.
