Andrew Bartlett Real Estate Agent for Sarasota and Florida Coast
The property system in Florida is totally different from the one in Britain. Therefore, the British need to be aware of the differences and make sure that they are working with a real estate agent, called an estate agent in the UK, that is very knowledgeable of the differences between the US and UK.
Many times British buyers in the US will approach the Realtor (Estate Agent) who has listed a property. This happens when the buyer sees a property advertised and reacts exactly as they would in Britain by simply calling the agent listed for the property. This is a very big mistake in the US since the listed agent is actually the property selling agent and is contracted with the seller of the property. That agent represents the best interest of the seller, not the buyer.
US Money Magazine states, “Choosing a real estate agent to represent you should be one of the first, and perhaps the most important, step buyers should take before shopping for a home.”
